Abstract
Summary A theory is presented describing the flow close to the surface of a circular cone at incidence to a supersonic stream, which reconciles the first order theory of Stone (on which the widely used M.I.T. Cone Tables are based) with the physically necessary condition that the entropy on the cone surface be constant. However, the results of this “vortical layer” solution appear to invalidate the method used in Ref. 1 to apply a boundary condition at the cone surface, and so to cast doubt on the results obtained by this theory.Keywords
