The flow stream behind the shock in a conical flow is parallel to the conical surface.(a) True(b) FalseThe question was posed to me by my school principal while I was bunking the class.I would like to ask this question from Physical Aspects of Conical Flow in division Linearized and Conical Flows of Aerodynamics

Answer»

The correct answer is (b) False

The explanation: Unlike the flow over a wedge which is a two – dimensional flow, the streamline is not parallel to the surface behind the shock wave. The flow field between the shock wave and the CONICAL surface is not uniform causing the STREAMLINES to becomes slightly curved as the PRESSURE is not CONSTANT the conical surface.
