3D relieving effect is a consequence of which of these flows? Correct Answer Flow over a cone
Since the pressure over the conical surface is not constant unlike the flow over the wedge, the streamlines tend to curve behind the shock wave. The 3 – dimensional nature of conical flow provides the streamlines with an extra space relieving any obstruction from the surface of the body. This is known as 3D relieving effect.
