conical flow

[′kän·ə·kəl ′flō]
(fluid mechanics)
Steady supersonic flow of a perfect, inviscid gas past a conical solid body in a region of the flow field where the principal physical quantities such as velocity, pressure, and density are constant on rays passing through a fixed point. Also known as cone flow.

He introduces key concepts and generalized function theory; elaborates on the Euler equations and definitions and assumptions used throughout the treatment; discusses the theory in relation to one-dimensional and quasi-one-dimensional Euler equations; applies shock fitting techniques to two-dimensional flows, specifically in reference to the problems of the classical blunt body problem, conical flow over an external corner, and steady supersonic flow; and considers current and future developments in shock-fitting methods within the context of unstructured grid methods.
