Approximate Analytical Solutions For Hypersonic Flow Over Slender Power Law Bodies With List Of References

Download or read book Approximate Analytical Solutions for Hypersonic Flow Over Slender Power Law Bodies written by Harold Mirels and published by . This book was released on 1959 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximate analytical solutions are presented for two-dimensional and axisymmetric hypersonic flow over slender power law bodies. Both zero-order (M->∞) and first-order (small but nonvanishing values of 1/(Mδ)2) solutions are presented, where M is free-stream Mach number and δ is a characteristic slope. These solutions are compared with exact numerical integrations of the equations of motion and appear to be accurate particularly when the shock is relatively close to the body.
