Summary

A calculation method for transonic flow around axisymmetric inlets in subsonic free streams has been extended to work in supersonic free streams. The full potential equation is solved in non-conservative and almost conservative (quasi-conservative) form using line-relaxation.

In a comparison with experiments the non-conservative and quasiconservative formulation give shock wave locations somewhat upstream and downstream respectively of the experimental shock wave.
