Problem 15. – Uniform supersonic flow at Mach 3.0 and p = 20 kPa passes over a cone
of semi-vertex angle of 20° aligned parallel to the flow direction. Determine the shock
wave angle, the Mach number of the flow along the cone surface, and the surface
pressure. Take γ = 1.3.
Except for the ratio of specific heats this is identical to Example 12.8.

Spreadsheet calculation results for the first five increments of ∆θ = 0.1˚ for
θs = 29.24443˚, M1 = 3 and γ = 1.3 are as follows

Spreadsheet calculation results near the cone surface for ∆θ = 0.1˚, θs = 29.24443˚,
M1 = 3 and γ = 1.3 are contained in the following table
No. θ (deg) (vr)p F[(vr)i,(vθ)i] (vθ)p F[(vr)p,(vθ)p](vr) i+1 (vθ) i+1 V M δ (rad)

Since the velocity at the surface is equal to the radial velocity component, we may readily
compute the Mach number from Eq.(12.84) and the static pressure on the surface.
