Module 3: Approximation in Hypersonic Inviscid Flows

Questions:

1. Derive the oblique shock relation for static properties for hypersonic flow
considerations and state all the assumptions.
2. Derive the relations for total property ratios across the normal shock for
hypersonic flow.
3. Describe the steps involved to calculate the drag on a sphere experiencing high
Mach number hypersonic flow using any local surface inclination technique.
4. Explain the reason for success of prediction by Newtonian technique at high
Mach numbers.
5. Derive the similarity between Newtonian technique and modified Newtonian
technique at high Mach numbers.
6. Explain the algorithm for implementation of tangent wedge method of a 2D ogive
using a C program.
