Hypersonic Flow Field Reconfiguration and Drag Reduction of Blunt Body with Spikes and Sideward Jets

Figure 15

Density gradient in the y direction shows typical flow field wave structure around the pure spiked blunt body (Ma = 6.0, L/D = 1.0): (a) flow around the spike nose; (b) flow around the whole body.
