What is the relation between maximum allowed cone angle and wedge angle for attached shock wave?(a) (θmax)wedge = (θmax)cone(b) (θmax)wedge > (θmax)cone(c) (θmax)wedge < (θmax)cone(d) (θmax)wedge ≈ (θmax)coneThe question was posed to me during an interview for a job.My doubt stems from Physical Aspects of Supersonic Flow over Cones in section Linearized and Conical Flows of Aerodynamics

Answer»

The correct answer is (b) (θmax)wedge > (θmax)CONE

The EXPLANATION: Due to the three-dimensional relieving effect, for a particular FREESTREAM Mach number, the MAXIMUM cone angle allowed is larger than the maximum wedge angle before the shock wave BECOMES detached.
