A computational technique, called the method of lines, is developed for computing the flow field about conical configurations at incidence in a supersonic flow. The method, which makes use of the self-similarity property, is developed for the nonlinear flow equations. The method has proved to be an efficient and versatile procedure for constructing the numerical solutions to conical flow problems. It has been successful in computing the flow about circular and elliptic cones at conditions where small regions of supersonic cross flow develop and for the conical delta wings where the region of supersonic cross flow is extensive. The calculations made for circular and elliptic cones as well as for the compression side of various conical delta wings are in good agreement with experiment except in regions where viscous effects become important.

Since the appearance of computers, numerical methods for discontinuous solutions of quasi-linear hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations have been among the most important research subjects in numerical analysis. The authors have developed a new difference method (named the singularity-separating method) for quasi-linear hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations. Its most important feature is that it possesses a high accuracy even for problems with singularities such as schocks, contact discontinuities, rarefaction waves and detonations. Besides the thorough description of the method itself, its mathematical foundation (stability-convergence theory of difference schemes for initial-boundary-value hyperbolic problems) and its application to supersonic flow around bodies are discussed. Further, the method of lines and its application to blunt body problems and conical flow problems are described in detail. This book should soon be an important working basis for both graduate students and researchers in the field of partial differential equations as well as in mathematical physics.
