Abstract
Results are presented for the laminar and turbulent flows of a reacting mixture of hydrogen-helium in chemical equilibrium over blunted cones of large half-angles at small angles of attack. The freestream conditions correspond to a typical Jovian entry trajectory point. Radiative heat flux is calculated by using a realistic step-function model for the absorption coefficient. It is found that the effect of the angle of attack is very significant on the radiative heating. An investigation also is made to determine whether a blunted cone at small angles of attack can be replaced by equivalent bodies at zero angle of attack for the purpose of calculating the shock shapes, surface pressure, skin friction, and heating rates.
