Synopsis

The relaxation technique of R. V. Southwell is developed to evaluate mixed subsonic-supersonic flow regions with axial symmetry, changes of entropy being taken into account. In the problem of a parallel supersonic flow of Mach number I·8 impinging on a blunt-nosed axially symmetric obstacle, the new technique is used to determine the complete field downstream of the bow shock wave formed. Lines of constant vorticity and Mach number are shown in the field, and where possible a comparison is made with the corresponding 2-dimensional problem.
