Abstract: | In the present paper an approximate method is proposed for solving wake problems that makes it possible to take into account the main features of a flow with complicated chemical kinetics. Analytic dependences are obtained for the distributions of the gas parameters and the radiation intensity, and also the determining dimensionless numbers. Satisfactory agreement is obtained between the theoretical and experimental results for all parameters that have been measured.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 6, pp. 165–175, November–December, 1980.We are very grateful to G.
