How does the coefficient of pressure vary for supersonic flow as the Mach number decreases?(a) Increases(b) Decreases(c) Remains same(d) First increases, then decreasesI had been asked this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.The above asked question is from Linearized Pressure Coefficient topic in portion Linearized and Conical Flows of Aerodynamics

Answer»

The correct option is (a) Increases

The best I can explain: In the supersonic REGIME, ACCORDING to the linearized COEFFICIENT of pressure is directly proportional to the local inclination and inversely proportional to\(\sqrt {M_∞^2 – 1}\). Due to this relation, as the Mach number decreases, the coefficient of pressure increases to a point where Mach number reaches transonic regime (M = 1) where the coefficient of pressure becomes INFINITY.
