Abstract: | An investigation is made into the convective heating of a blunt-nosed body in an expanding stream of heated gas. The gas parameters at the outer edge of the boundary layer are determined on the basis of a solution obtained earlier by the authors 3]. Expressions are obtained which make it possible to convert the convective heat flux to a body in a uniform gas stream to one in a nonuniform stream. Dimensionless numbers are found and their influence on the convective heat flux to the body is investigated.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 127–133, July–August, 1981. |
