Linearized and Conical Flows topics include: Linearized velocity potential equation, linearized pressure coefficient, linearized subsonic and supersonic flow, critical mach number, conical and supersonic flow physical aspects, quantitative formulation, improved compressibility corrections and historical note.

Supersonic linearized conical-flow theory is used to determine the flow over slender pointed cones. The linearized method can have wide application to any form of boundary conditions for conical flow. 

Conical flow is a flow where physical characteristics like velocity and pressure are constant along each half-ray emerging from a center. Conical flow can play a role in the process of droplet break-up in two and three dimensions. 
Conical flow around cones without axial symmetry is analyzed by the superposition of linear conical solutions to a nonlinear axially symmetric conical flow.
