Abstract

An investigation has been made of the flow over spiked cone-cylinders mainly at a Mach number of 10. Five distinct types of flow were discovered. The occurrence of each is defined in terms of spike length and cone angle.

Following a discussion of the flow mechanism, a semi-empirical separation relation is derived. This can be used to predict the flow pattern for the most common type of separated flow.
