Abstract

The interaction between convergent axisymmetric shock waves and sharp and blunt cones has been experimentally investigated in a wind tunnel at M=4.67. During the experiments the effect of the conicity angle of the convergent shock wave, the shape of the model and its position relative to the shock-wave configuration on the structure of the flow and the pressure distribution on the model surface was explored.
