Abstract

An electronic computer has been employed to calculate the ratio between the initial radii of curvature of the attached shock wave and the body for an axially symmetrical body in a uniform supersonic stream. The results are obtained with 4 exact digits for more than 200 cases. They extend results obtained previously (Cabannes 1951) by means of numerical integration.
