The result is displayed below. We did not change the mesh through adaption for this instead using the mesh generated in the tutorial. This needs be checked against the theoretical results for supersonic flow over a cone.

To look at the theory describing supersonic flow over a cone, see NASA's website.

Separated Shock

Next, we will alter the geometry to achieve a separated shock. Close FLUENT and open the Design Modeler. We want to increase the angle of the wedge above its critical angle. We will increase the angle to 35 degrees. Change the geometry's dimensions to match that of the diagram below.
