Summary
Axisymmetric laminar hypersonic flows of perfect gas and equilibrium air past blunt bodies are simulated. The thin-layer Navier-Stokes equations are solved by a semi-implicit central finite-difference method. The thermodynamic and transport properties of equilibrium air are obtained from curve-fitting routines and from a Gibbs-energy minimization procedure. Results are obtained for a flow past a hemisphere and a hyperboloid.
