| Abstract: | Supersonic perfect-gas flow past a sphere and a cylinder at a constant surface temperature is investigated on the basis of a numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. The Re-dependence of the Nusselt number and the recovery coefficient is calculated for the Reynolds numbers ranging from 1 to 1000 and Mach numbers 3 (cylinder) and 5 (sphere) and compared with the experimental data. The influence of slip and no-slip conditions imposed on the body surface on the heat transfer parameters and the base flow is analyzed. |
