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.
