Influence of temperature factor on the aerodynamic characteristics of a circular cylinder in a supersonic perfect gas flow

The flowfield and aerodynamic characteristics of a circular cylinder at Mach number M=5 and zero yaw angle are calculated using Navier-Stokes equations. Calculations were carried out at several Reynolds numbers for both thermally insulated and isothermal surfaces; in the latter case the temperature factor was varied.Moscow.
