Abstract: | The present study will consider the problem of formation of a nonstationary flow of a viscous, thermally conductive gas around a semiinfinite plate, with the gas being set in motion instantaneously from a state of rest (problem I) and behind a shock wave incident upon the gas (problem H). A numerical method will be used, based on integration of the complete system of Navier-Stokes equations. Special attention is given in the solution to these times when the simplifying assumptions of boundary layer theory are invalid.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 6, pp. 167–171, November–December, 1978.The authors thank Yu.
