Abstract: | The aim of this study is to determine the influence of second-order effects in the aggregate on supersonic axisymmetric flow over slender blunt cones and also to determine the region of applicability of approximate methods of taking into account the strongest of these second-order effects — entropy layer absorption. A system of complete viscous shock layer equations containing all the terms of the gas dynamic Euler equations and all the second-order terms of asymptotic boundary layer theory is chosen as the gas-dynamic model. Within the calculation domain the problem is solved in a unified manner.Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Akademii Nauk, Meknanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No.4, pp. 129–134, July–August, 1992. |
