Three-dimensional boundary layer in a partly ionized multicomponent gas: PMM vol. 40, n≗ 3, 1976, pp. 490–500

Abstract

A system of equations is derived for the three-dimensional boundary layer in a partly ionized multicomponent gas with frozen reactions under conditions of quasi-inertness and absence of external electromagnetic fields and of energy transfer by radiation. An analytical computation method based on the use of successive approximations is investigated. Variation of transfer coefficients across the boundary layer is taken into account by approximating the values of these at the external boundary and at the surface of the body. First approximation values of surface friction and heat exchange coefficients are obtained for the locally self-similar cases. An example of computation of the flow of frozen air past a cone with spherically blunted nose at an angle of attack is presented.
