Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Detatched-Shock Calculations by Power Series, I
The stand-off distance is of the order of one tenth the radius of curvature of the body at the nose, the actual distance depending on the mach number and the assumed equation of state. Near the axis, the flow is subsonic; farther away it is supersonic. Under usual conditions, the boundary layer that builds up adjacent to the body is of negligible thickness; therefore, the assumption of an inviscid flow throughout most of the interesting region is Justified.
