ABSTRACT
In the present study hypersonic similitude has been used to obtain stability derivatives in
pitch and roll of a delta wing with curved leading edges for the attached shock case. A strip
theory is used in which strips at different span-wise locations are independent. This combines
with the similitude to give a piston theory. The present theory is valid only for attached shock
case. Effects of wave reflection and viscosity have not been taken into account. Some of the
results have been compared with those of Hui et al, Ghosh and Liu & Hui. Results have been
obtained for hypersonic flow of perfect gas over a wide range of mach numbers, incidences
and sweep angles.
Keywords: Attached shock wave, Curved leading edges, delta wings, Hypersonic, Pitch ,Roll
1. INTRODUCTION
The analysis of hypersonic flow over flat deltas (with straight leading edge
and curved leading edge) over a considerable incidence range is of current interest with the
advent of space shuttle and high performance military aircrafts. The knowledge of
aerodynamic load and stability for such types is a need for simple but reasonably accurate
methods for parametric calculations facilitating the design process. The dynamic stability
computation for these shapes at high incidence (which is likely to occur during the course of
reentry or maneuver) is of current interest. When descending shock waves which are usually
strong and can be either detached or attached.
The idea of hypersonic similitude is due to Tsien [1], who investigated the 2-D and
axi-symmetric irrotational equations of motion. Sychev’s [2] large incidence hypersonic
similitude is applicable for wings of extremely small span. Cole and Brainard [3] have given
a solution for a delta wing of very small span on large incidence. Messiter [4] has found a
solution, in the realm of thin shock layer theory, for steady delta wing with detached shock
case at small incidence based on hypersonic small disturbance theory. Pike [5] and Hui [6]

have given theories for steady delta wings in supersonic/hypersonic flow with attached
shocks. For 2-D flow exact solutions were given by Carrier [7] and Hui [6] for the case of an
oscillating wedge and by Hui[8] for an oscillating flat plate, which is valid uniformly for all
supersonic Mach numbers and wedge angles or angles of attack with attached shock wave.
Hui [9] calculated pressure on the compression side of a flat delta. The numerical solutions
for the attached shock case have been given by Babaev [10], Voskresenkii [11]. The role of
dynamic stability at high incidence during re-entry or maneuver has been pointed out by
Orlik-Ruckemann [12]. The shock attached relatively high aspect ratio delta is often preferred
for its high lift to drag ratio.
Hui and Hemdan [13] have studied the unsteady shock detached case in the context of
thin shock layer theory. Liu and Hui [14] have extended Hui’s [9] theory to a shock attached
pitching delta. Light hill [15] has developed a “Piston Theory” for oscillating airfoils at high
Mach numbers. A parameter δ is introduced, which is a measure of maximum inclination
angle of Mach wave in the flow field. It is assumed that M∞ δ is less than or equal to unity
(i.e. M∞ δ ≤ 1) and is of the order of maximum deflection of a streamline. Light hill [15]
likened the 2-D unsteady problem to that of a gas flow in a tube driven by a piston and
termed it “Piston Analogy”.
Ghosh [16] has developed a large incidence 2-D hypersonic similitude and piston
theory. It includes Light hill’s [15] and Mile’s [17] piston theories. Ghosh and Mistry [18]
have applied this theory of order of ¢2 where ¢ is the angle between the attached shock and
the plane approximating the windward surface. For a plane surface, ¢ is the angle between the
shock and the body. The only additional restriction compared to small disturbance theory is
that the Mach number downstream of the bow shock is not less than 2.5.
Ghosh[19] has obtained a similitude and two similarity parameters for shock attached
oscillating delta wings at large incidence. Crasta & Khan [20] have extended the Ghosh
similitude to supersonic flows past a planar wedge. Further, Khan & Crasta [21] have
obtained stability derivatives in pitch and roll of a delta wing with curved leading edges for
supersonic flows .In the present analysis this similitude has been extended to shock attached
delta wings with curved leading edges at large incidence for Hypersonic flows. The pressure
on the lee surface is assumed zero.

2. Analysis
To get a curved leading edge we superpose a full sine wave and or half sine wave on a
straight leading edge. X-axis is taken along the chord of the wing and the Z-axis is
perpendicular to the chord in the plane of the wing.
Equation of x-axis is z = o

2.1 Strip theory
A thin strip of the wing, parallel to the centerline, can be considered independent of
the z dimension when the velocity component along the z direction is small. This has been
discussed by Ghosh’s [19]. The strip theory combined with Ghosh’s large incidence
similitude leads to the “piston analogy” and pressure P on the surface can be directly related

to equivalent piston mach no. Mp. In this case both Mp and flow deflections are permitted to
be large. Hence light hill piston theory [15] or miles strong shock piston theory cannot be
used but Ghosh’s piston theory will be applicable.

Let the mean incidence be α 0 for the wing oscillating in pitch with small frequency
and amplitude about an axis X0. The piston velocity and hence pressure on the windward
surface remains constant on a span wise strip of length 2z at x, the pressure on the lee surface
is assumed zero. Therefore, the nose up moment is

2.6 Results and Discussions
The wing geometry for a full and half sine wave (convex and concave) is shown in
Fig.1 and 2. Stiffness and damping derivatives in pitch have been calculated for a full sine
wave and half sine wave (Fig. 3, 4, 5, 6) using present theory and have been compared with
Ghosh’s theory (Fig. 7 & 8). Results of present theory are better when compared to Ghosh as
it uses straight leading edges where as in the present case wing has curved leading edges. The
present theory invokes Ghosh strip theory arguments. Hui et al also use strip theory
arguments where by flow at span wise station is considered equivalent to an oscillating flat
plate flow; this flow is calculated by perturbing the known steady plate flow (oblique shock
solution) which serves as the basic flow for the theory. Hui et al have obtained closed form
expressions for stiffness and damping in pitch but have not calculated the rolling moment
derivative. The present theory calculates rolling moment derivative also, since it makes use of
Ghosh quasi steady theory which is simpler than both liu and Hui et al and brings out the
explicit dependence of derivatives on the similarity parameter S1.

Fig. 9 shows the variation of Stiffness and Damping derivative with angle of incidence.
Stiffness derivative increases linearly up to angle of 30-35 degrees, it is seen that the damping
derivative increases with increase of angle of incidence and holds good up to a value of about
35 degrees. Fig. 10 compares the damping of a wing with the results of Ghosh’s theory for
different incidences. Both theories show same trend. Close to shock- detachment the present
theory is not valid. Fig. 11 shows that rolling damping decreases with Mach number initially
and confirms the Mach number independence principle for large Mach numbers.
Fig. 12 & 13 show variation of rolling derivative with sweep angle for a full
and half sine wave. As the sweep angle increases the rolling derivative decreases up to 75
degrees for a full sine wave and up to 65 degrees for a half sine wave. The mathematical error
in Ghosh [19], due to this the factor Clp is decreased to one-forth. This has been identified and
rectified (Fig 14.).

2.7 CONCLUSION
In the present theory the similitude and piston theory of Ghosh have been extended to
a flat wing with curved leading edges. There is a strong impetus for further research by taking
into account the effects of shock motion, viscosity, bluntness of the wing and the real gas
effects. The concepts of the present theory can be extended to axi-symmetric case, for which
analytical or experimental data are quite limited.
