July 31, 2017
When a supersonic stream flows around a thin profile, the pressure acting on the surface element does not depend on the shape of the rest of the profile, but depends only on the slope of the element itself, that is, on the local angle of attack. The local angle of attack is the angle between the surface element and the velocity vector of the undisturbed flow Coefficient of pressure.
