Abstract
Local interaction theory comprises studies based on the representation of the force and thermal characteristics of the action of a medium on a body at a certain point on its surface as functions of the local velocity, the angle between the velocity direction and the normal to the surface, and the “global” parameters, which are constant at all points on the surface. In this review, we will trace the history of the theory and analyze the main results concerning the development of particular local interaction models, the calculation of the integral characteristics and the determination of optimal body shapes, the general properties of the model and practical methods based on them, and nontraditional fields of local model application. Along with the general results, we will focus on the most important fields of local model application, such as aerodynamics, gasdynamics, and rarefied gas dynamics.
