Consider a cone at zero angle of attack in a hypersonic flow. (Hypersonic flow is very high-speed flow, generally defined as any flow above a Mach number of 5.) The half-angle of the cone is θc, as shown inthe figure. An approximate expression for the pressure coefficient on the surface of ahypersonic body is given by the newtonian sine-squared law : Cp = 2 sin2 θcNote that Cp, hence, p, is constant along the inclined surface of the cone. Along the base of the body, we assume that p = p∞. Neglecting the effect of friction, obtain an expression for the drag coefficient of the cone, where CD is based on the area of the base Sb.
The shock waves on a vehicle in supersonic flight cause a component ofdrag called supersonic wave drag Dw. Define the wave-drag coefficient asCD,w = Dw/q∞S, where S is a suitable reference area for the body. Insupersonic flight, the flow is governed in part by its thermodynamicproperties, given by the specific heats at constant pressure cp and atconstant volume cv. Define the ratio cp/cv ≡ γ . Using Buckingham’spi theorem, show that CD,w = f (M∞, γ ). Neglect the influence of friction.
SR-71 Blackbird cruised at Mach 3.2 at 80,000 ft altitude. However, it was designed to leak a
finite amount of fuel during takeoff because the surface temperature of the aircraft increases
(which leads to expansion of the surfaces) due to aerodynamic heating during flight. Estimate the
flow temperature around the aircraft during cruise condition. Assume specific heat ratio is 1.4.
