INVISCID HYPERSONIC FLOW AROUND SPHERES WITH MASS INJECTION. Paper 9 of GENERAL RESEARCH IN FLIGHT SCIENCES, JANUARY 1959-JANUARY 1960. VOLUME I. FLUID MECHANICS. PART 1

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4166707
Lighthill's constant-density solution for the inviscid hypersonic flow around spheres is extended to include mass injection from the body. It is shown that the shocklayer thickness, injection-layer thickness and surfacepressure distribution depend only on the injection momentum, for fixed free-stream conditions. The dependence is shown graphically for the case when the injection layer is irrotational. (auth)
