Abstract

The paper discusses the supersonic flow around a blunt smooth body by a stream of viscous gas with subsonic injection from the surface of the body. The effect of various injection cycles on the physical flow characteristics ahead of the body are studied in [1, 2]; the problem is considered in the approximation of a boundary layer. The nonuniform composition of the gas ahead of the body, chemical reactions between the various components, and the effect of radiation are taken into account. For a number of flow cycles, which are of practical importance, it will be of interest to consider higher approximations in powers of ε [ε=1/√Re, see Eq. (1.1) below] in the shock layer ahead of the body and, in particular, to explain the action of the displacement effect and also the limits of applicability of the boundary-layer approximation assumed in [1, 2]. Extensive literature has been devoted to the asymptotics of the problem of flow around a blunt body of a viscous gas at high Reynolds numbers (see, for example, Van Dyke's book [3]). An investigation of the problem, based on the method of M. I. Vishik and L. A. Lyusternik, is contained in [4–6]. (The advantage of the use of Vishlik and Lyusternik's method in comparison with the method of internal and external expansion is discussed in [4].) The effect of injection on the flow has not been considered in the papers listed. In this paper, approximate solutions are constructed with an error of order ε and ε2 which take into account the effect of the injectionf on the flow\([f = (\rho wvw)/(\rho _\infty v_\infty ),f = O(1)]\). The approximate solutions are compiled from a more accurate nonviscous flow (external solution) and boundary-layer corrections. The boundary-layer corrections are constructed on a shock wave and a contact boundary in such a way that the solution would be continuous and quite smooth. For the external solution at the contact boundary, conditions are obtained which take into account the effect of viscosity.
