Under which condition do we get the detached shock wave on a cone?(a) θc = θcmax(b) θc > θcmax(c) θc = 0(d) θc = infintyI had been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.Question is taken from Physical Aspects of Supersonic Flow over Cones in section Linearized and Conical Flows of Aerodynamics

Answer»

Correct choice is (b) θc > θcmax

The best explanation: For a given freestream Mach number M∞, there exists a maximum CONE ANGLE for which if we go BEYOND that value, the SHOCK wave originating at the cone’s vertex gets detached. Thus, the condition for detached shock wave is θc > θcmax.
