Abstract: | Supersonic viscous homogeneous gas flow past axisymmetric smooth nonpointed bodies is analyzed numerically for widely varying
Mach and Reynolds numbers and flow geometry. The initial equations of a viscous shock layer are solved by the stabilization
method. The effect of the determining parameters on the flow character and the heat transfer distribution along the surface
is analyzed. The accuracy and domain of applicability of several approximate approaches to the solution of the problem are
estimated.
