The solution proposed by Taylor and Maccoll for supersonic flow over a cone is obtained using which of these techniques?(a) Analytically(b) Graphically(c) Numerically(d) SimulationI have been asked this question in an interview for job.The above asked question is from Quantitative Formulation topic in portion Linearized and Conical Flows of Aerodynamics |

Answer» CORRECT option is (c) Numerically The best explanation: The SUPERSONIC flow over a cone was first obtained by A. Busemann in the year 1929 when the supersonic flow was not studied or achieved practically. Later in the year 1933, Taylor and Maccoll came up with a numerical SOLUTION for the supersonic CONICAL flow. The equation obtained is a ordinary differential equation having no closed – form solution thus SEEKING a numerical solution. |
