| Abstract: | On the basis of the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations, the initiation and development of the separated flow behind a thermally insulated circular cylinder in a supersonic perfect-gas stream is investigated in relation to the Reynolds number. It is shown that the entire Re-range can be subdivided into a number of intervals with their own characteristic features. In particular, the conditions for the generation and development of global separation are established. Moscow.
