Abstract: In R2, a symmetric blunt body Wb is fixed by smoothing out the tip of a symmetric wedge W0 with the half-wedge angle hetawin(0,fracpi2). We first show that if a horizontal supersonic flow of uniform state moves toward W0 with a Mach number Minfty>1 sufficiently large, %depending on hetaw, then there exist two shock solutions, {emph{a weak shock solution and a strong shock solution}}, with the shocks being straight and attached to the tip of the wedge W0. Such shock solutions are given by a shock polar analysis, and they satisfy entropy conditions. The main goal of this work is to construct a detached shock solution of the steady Euler system for inviscid compressible irrotational flow in R2setminusWb. In particular, we seek a shock solution with the far-field state being the strong shock solution obtained from the shock polar analysis. Furthermore, we prove that the detached shock forms a convex curve around the blunt body Wb if the Mach number of the incoming supersonic flow is sufficiently large, and if the boundary of Wb is convex.
