Effect of yaw on supersonic and hypersonic flow over delta wings

W. H. Hui

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

The problem of a delta wing in a high speed stream has been approached using linearised potential flow theory for low supersonic Mach number, and using thin shock layer theory for hypersonic Mach number. Recently the author has given a new theory of supersonic and hypersonic flows with attached shock wave over the compression surface of an unyawed delta wing. It has the advantage of being unified for both supersonic and hypersonic flows, and it gives almost identical results compared with exact numerical solutions. The purpose of this note is to extend the theory of Ref. 4 to include the effects of yaw.
