317 The Development of a New Nonequilibrium Viscous Shock-Layer Technique for Computing Hypersonic Flow around Blunt_Nosed Slender Bodies Available to Purchase

A method has been developed which can reliably compute nonequilibrium viscous shock layer over blunt-nosed bodies. The present method considerably improves computational efficiency, especially for long slender bodies. The chemical reaction models are taken from Blottner and Gupta for seven and eleven species respectively. The governing equations are solved with a spatial marching, implicit, finite difference method. The solution is obtained by solving a coupled of normal momentum and continuity equations. The results of present technique show good agreement compared to the STS_2 flight data and other numerical solutions.
