THE EFFECT OF SHOCK-GENERATED VORTICITY, SURFACE SLIP, AND TEMPERATURE JUMP ON STAGNATION-POINT HEAT TRANSFER RATES. Paper 5 of GENERAL RESEARCH IN FLIGHT SCIENCES, JANUARY 1959-JANUARY 1960. VOLUME 2. FLUID MECHANICS. PART 1

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4139877

The combined effects of shock-generated vorticity, surface slip. and temperature jump on stagnation point heat rates are investigated. Numerical solutions to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations were obtained in the shock layer in the vicinity of the stagnation point. The normal shock relations are used as the outer boundary conditions while the slip boundary conditions are used at the surface. The numerical soluttons show thnt for an insulated body, surface slip and temperature jump reduce the heat rates by a substantial amount. (auth)
