Summary

Hypersonic small-disturbance theory is applied to the source flow over power-law slender bodies with conical or wedge type asymptote. The results for a point source flow with λ=2 over power-law cones of revolution show that the dominating equations in the first and second approximations are essentially the same as the ones for the parallel flow over power-law bodies of revolution. In the special case of a cone, results of a source flow and of a parallel flow are compared and it is shown that the surface pressure in a source flow at the nose is the same as the constant cone pressure in a parallel flow, but systematically decreases in the rear part. This is confirmed by comparison with a shock tunnel experiment.
