Modeling Flow in a Shock Viscous Layer

Resumo

This paper considers the two-dimensional problem of the theory of viscous hypersonic flows formulated for the high-velocity translational-nonequilibrium flow of a monatomic gas past a surface based on macrokinetic 13-moment Grad equations using the model of a two-layer thin viscous shock layer (TVSL) near non-thin bodies. A class of similarity variables is proposed that allows the kinetic problem of the TVSL to be reduced to the well-studied Navier–Stokes problem of the TVSL.
