The unsteady, three-dimensional flowfield resulting from the interaction of a plane shock with a cone-shaped vehicle traveling supersonically is determined, using a second-order, shock-capturing, finite-difference approach. The time-dependent, inviscid gasdynamic equations are transformed to include the self-similar property of the flow, to align various coordinate surfaces with known shock waves, and to cluster points in the vicinity of the intersection of the transmitted incident shock and the surface of the vehicle. The governing partial differential equations in conservation-law form are then solved iteratively using MacCormack's (1969) algorithm.
