Abstract: Three OpenFOAM solvers are selected to numerically solve the problem of supersonic flow around a cone. The angle of attack, the cone half-angle, and the Mach number changed. A number of test calculations were carried out. The fields of deviations of gas-dynamic quantities from the reference solution are analyzed for all solvers.

Keywords: comparative analysis of accuracy, compressible flow, supersonic flow, OpenFOAM.
