The shock wave present on the cone is weaker than the one on the wedge for a particular angle.(a) True(b) FalseThe question was asked in unit test.This interesting question is from Physical Aspects of Supersonic Flow over Cones topic in portion Linearized and Conical Flows of Aerodynamics

Answer»

Right option is (a) True

The explanation is: For a PARTICULAR CONE ANGLE, the shock wave formed at the cone’s vertex is USUALLY weaker in strength compared to the shock wave formation on a wedge. This phenomenon is due to the three – dimensional RELIEVING effect.
