Investigation of Flow past a Flat Plate in the Strong Interaction Regime

Аннотация

Viscous gas flow past a finite-length plate in the strong interaction regime is investigated. The expansions of the flow functions in the vicinity of the leading edge are derived and the boundary value problems for the viscous and inviscid flow regions are formulated and jointly solved. The effect of the adiabatic exponent and the temperature factor on the flow parameters in these regions and the eigenvalue determining the intensity of the upstream disturbance transfer is studied. It is shown that in the non-self-similar case a transitional layer arises at the outer edge of the boundary layer.
