Abstract

The influence of low Reynolds number viscous effects on blunt-nose stagnation pressure is investigated analytically for near-continuum hypersonic ideal gas flows around cooled bodies. It is shown that normal stress within the boundary layer acts to increase stagnation pressure slightly but that the usually neglected pressure slip at the wall introduces a significant opposing effect when the wall is cooled. Closed-form relationships describing this behavior as a function of Reynolds number, wall temperature ratio, and gas type are developed
