Integral momentum equation for flows with entropy gradients across inviscid streamlines

Abstract

electron energy are ignored in the boundary layer. The twolayer structure of the flow is clearly seen. The thickness of the electron thermal layer is found to be r? = 500 or above, while the thickness of the viscous boundary layer varies between 77 = 10 and 77 =40. Thus, it is assured that the detailed structure of both the thin viscous boundary layer and the thick electron thermal layer can easily be obtained by using the reduced coordinates (5, TV).
