Abstract

Using RUSANOV's method one gets extremely good results near the body surface. Especially for the transonic region the calculations give reliable values of the flowfield quantities. Also in the three-dimensional case of a blunted cone with an angle of attack of 20° the convergence rate of the process is very fast if one confines the calculation to a small supersonic part behind the sonic line. The whole results of the calculations will be published in a report of the Gesellschaft für Weltraumforschung which supported the present work.
