A procedure is given for deriving the equations describing the surface streamline metric in a general form and in a form suitable for incorporation into computer codes to calculate an inviscid flow about three-dimensional bodies. Sample results are included to show the application of the metric in conjunction with an axisymmetric analog to predict heat transfer to a typical space shuttle orbiter.
