3D relieving effect is a consequence of which of these flows?(a) Flow over a wedge(b) Flow over a flat – plate(c) Flow over a cone(d) Flow over a flat plate kept at 90 degreesI had been asked this question in an internship interview.The above asked question is from Physical Aspects of Conical Flow topic in portion Linearized and Conical Flows of Aerodynamics

Answer»

The correct choice is (c) Flow over a cone

Explanation: Since the pressure over the conical SURFACE is not constant unlike the flow over the wedge, the streamlines tend to curve behind the SHOCK wave. The 3 – dimensional nature of conical flow provides the streamlines with an EXTRA space relieving any obstruction from the surface of the body. This is KNOWN as 3D relieving effect.
