Abstract
Analytical expressions for the heat flux divided by its value at the stagnation point which depend on the geometric parameters invariant with respect to the choice of the coordinate system, as well as expressions depending on the geometry and the pressure on the surface which have a wider applicability range are obtained in the problem of three-dimensional hypersonic flow over blunt bodies at large and moderate Reynolds numbers. These formulas are derived by solving the thin viscous shock layer equations for a perfect gas using the integral method of successive approximations developed by the author. The accuracy and the range of applicability of the analytical solutions are estimated by comparing them with numerical solutions. On the basis of comparisons with numerical solutions for multicomponent chemically nonequilibrium air at altitudes from 90 to 50 km of the spacecraft reentry trajectory in the Earth’s atmosphere it is shown that the formulas obtained can be used for calculations of the heat flux on an ideal catalytic surface of bodies in hypersonic chemically reacting gas flow.
