Newton theory is applicable for which of these flows?(a) Subsonic flow(b) Supersonic flow(c) Transonic flow(d) Hypersonic flowThis question was addressed to me during an online exam.The above asked question is from Time-Marching Technique topic in section Time-Marching Technique of Aerodynamics |
Answer» RIGHT answer is (d) Hypersonic flow To elaborate: NEWTON’s theory is more accurate for hypersonic flows with Mach numbers greater than 5. This is because as the free stream Mach NUMBER INCREASES and the angle between free stream and inclined FLAT plate increases, the accuracy of Newtonian theory also increases. |
