Abstract:The range of applicability of some similitude laws for heat transfer, friction and drag coefficients is discussed on the basis of numerical solutions of the complete viscous shock layer equations describing hypersonic flow past blunt bodies .The method of matched asymptotic expansions [1] is used widely in the theory of hypersonic flow past bodies ; this method enables one to solve simplified gasdynamic equations in the first terms of the expansion of the unknown functions in asymptotic series in terms of a sm… Show more
