The Calculation of Three-Dimensional Supersonic Flows around Spherically-Capped Smooth Bodies and Wings. Volume II. Manual for Computer Programs

摘要

The report describes the theories, the numerical methods and the computer programs developed for determining the inviscid three-dimensional flow about smooth shapes at supersonic speeds. Volume II is a user's manual for the computer programs and provides the detailed information needed to set up and use the programs. These programs can determine the supersonic flow past smooth blunted bodies for any angle of attack for which the initial value surface remains on the blunted nose. The lowest usable Mach number is on the order of 2.0, with lower values attainable by careful attention to the initial value surface solution. There is no computational upper limit on the Mach number. (Author)
