Abstract
The possible occurrence of a viscous region near a surface from which there is rapid efflux of gas, accompanied by large heat transfer, is postulated and investigated theoretically. Such a viscous region, denoted as a boundary shock wave, may occur in the case of a large high-speed meteor entering the earth's atmosphere, when a very high rate of vaporization induces translational non-equilibrium. The conditions across a boundary shock wave and its structure are calculated from the appropriate macroscopic equations reduced to closed-form expressions under the restrictions of a perfect gas, flowing at constant total enthalpy.
