03.1 - Aerodynamics – CFD Methods and Validation
VALIDATION STUDY OF BLUNTED AND SHARP CONES AT HYPERSONIC SPEED
E.K.T. Carias¹, S.A. Prince¹; ¹Cranfield University, United Kingdom
The circular cone shaped nose had been the prime interest of study for high speed aerodynamics for quite some time. It is a fundamental shape at which most general pointed bodies are derived from. Besides from its simplicity, the flow field it produces can be easily studied since the flow is conical in nature. This study aims on invistagating blunted and sharp cones in the hypersonic regime.
