Question:

An empirical way to determine shock shapes based on experiments is given by Billig. A shape of shock created by a blunt body in xy coordinate system is given as a hyperbola Extra \left or missing \right. Here, the blunt body is taken as sphere-cone junction with δ : the shock distance, R : the radius of the sphere and Rc : the  the shock curvature to give

Extra \left or missing \right

Here, β is the attached shock angle of the cone alone. Plot th shape of the shock generated by the solid surface shown above for Mach numbers of M=4 and 8.
