Title: Generic missile geometry with flare at Mach 5 Description: A generic missile body with flare embeds many flow structures occurring simultaneously; oblique shock wave at the tip of the body, expansion fan at the shoulder, a dead air region at the compression corner due to shockwave-laminar boundary layer interaction and high speed base flow features at the back.
