The present chapter deals with heat transfer analysis around unspiked and spiked bodies at high speeds. A spike attached to a blunt-nosed body drastically alters its flowfield and influences the aerodynamic heating in a high speed flow. The effect of spike length, shape and spike-nose configuration is numerically studied at zero angle of incidence. The numerical analysis describes overall flowfield features over without and with forward facing spike attached to a blunt body at high speed flow. The shock stand-off distance, sonic line, stagnation point velocity gradient and stagnation point heat flux are analyzed and compared with different aerodisk configurations. It is found that the hemispherical aerodisk experiences high wall heat flux as compared to the flat-faced aerodisk. Numerical and experimental studies reveal that the wall heat flux levels are decreased in the presence of the spikes and aerospike as compared to without attached spiked to the blunt-nose basic configuration.
