Abstract

Solutions are obtained for hypersonic viscous interaction along a flat plate in the presence of strong boundary-layer blowing, with inverse-square-root injection velocity, for laminar flow over a cold wall and with a power-law viscosity–temperature relation. In the strong-interaction region, self-similarity is preserved if the blowing is such that the thicknesses of the inviscid shock layer, viscous shear layer, and inviscid blown layer all have the same order of magnitude. The weak-interaction region is also considered, and an approximate interpolation is used to join the solutions for the surface pressure. Certain difficulties in asymptotic matching are discussed, and the extension to flow past a thin wedge is shown.
