Three-Dimensional Interaction of a Blunt Cone with a Hot Region in a Supersonic Flow in the Presence of Surface Injection

The problem of the interaction of a blunt cone placed at zero incidence in a supersonic flow with a spherical hot region in the incident flow is considered for the case in which the hot region center is displaced relative to the axis of symmetry of the body. Two cases are studied: (1) the interaction of temperature inhomogeneity with an impermeable conical surface and (2) interaction in the presence of intense surface injection localized on the spherical bluntness of the body. It is shown that strong surface injection considerably improves the flow pattern and the aerodynamic characteristics of the body.
