A steady-state formulation for laminar flow is employed within a region extending from the boundary layer approaching separation downstream to the axial station of the sonic point on the axis. Included are the formation of the lip shock wave, the growth of the mixing layer into the rotational inviscid wake of the boundary layer, the recirculation region, and the wake shock wave. The entire flow is treated as a viscous interaction problem. Passage of the solution through two saddle-point singularities determines uniqueness and insures that the downstream behavior is the proper one for wake flows. The flow is divided into two regions; an inner region, which includes the recirculating flow, is determined by an integral method, while an outer region employs a finite-difference technique. A rigorous matching of the flow between the two regions is included. The model is applied to a Mach 6 wedge flow corresponding to an experimental case of Batt.
