1.

For a given cone angle and freestream Mach number, how many oblique shock(s) is/are present?(a) 1(b) 2(c) 4(d) InfinityThe question was asked in homework.My question is based upon Physical Aspects of Supersonic Flow over Cones topic in portion Linearized and Conical Flows of Aerodynamics

Answer»

The correct answer is (B) 2

To explain: For a conical flow placed in a freestream Mach number M∞ with a particular cone angle θc, there exists two OBLIQUE shock waves which is a result of one weak and one strong solution. It is similar to the CASE of WEDGE where using θ – β – M graph we OBTAIN two shock waves.
