Abstract: | Results are presented of experimental disintegration by a high-enthalpy gas stream of models made of asbestos material and graphite. The high-temperature aerodynamic shock-layer heating was modeled using an electrodeless plasma generator, which allowed the thermal boundary layer to be studied on the disintegrating models under convective and radiative heating conditions. The profiles of rotational and vibrational temperature in the multicomponent boundary layer, measured using the CN molecule, coincided.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, pp. 26–31, January–February, 1976.The authors thank N.
