Abstract

Kennett (1963) calculated the hypersonic flow fields past the lower (compression) surface of a delta wing, using the one-strip approximation of the method of integral relations. He obtained solutions only for wings with detached shocks. In this paper, his solutions are extended to wings with attached shocks. Here, the sonic point is inboard of the leading edge which makes the problem mixed. The solutions compare very well with the numerical solutions of the full equations by Babaev (1963a) both in the shock shapes and pressure distributions for various Mach numbers.
