Abstract

Three-dimensional ideal gas flows behind a detached bow shock wave near the nonsymmetrical nose part of a bluff body in a uniform supersonic flow are investigated. The vector lines of the vector product of the velocity and entropy gradient are considered on isentropic surfaces, which are stream surfaces starting on closed lines located on the shock wave and covering the leading point of the shock wave. It is shown that if these vector lines encircle the isentropic surface they are closed. This means that an orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system in which the coordinate lines coincide with the streamlines may be constructed on each isentropic surface.
