Supersonic motion of bodies in dusty gas

Abstract

Supersonic dusty gas flows about the blunted bodies are considered. The effects of rigid particles on the shock layer parameters, drag and heat transfer are investigated within the frames of Euler and Navier-Stokes approaches. When formulating the closed set of gas-particles mixture conservation equations both phenomenological relations and kinetic theory are used. The problem is treated numerically by means of time-asymptotic method along with implicit finite-difference schemes.
