The flow stream behind the shock in a conical flow is parallel to the conical surface.

The flow stream behind the shock in a conical flow is parallel to the conical surface. Correct Answer False

Unlike the flow over a wedge which is a two – dimensional flow, the streamline is not parallel to the surface behind the shock wave. The flow field between the shock wave and the conical surface is not uniform causing the streamlines to becomes slightly curved as the pressure is not constant the conical surface.
