Abstract

The two-dimensional problem of high-speed nonequilibrium homogeneous polyatomic gas flow past a surface formulated on the basis of macrokinetic 13-moment equations with the use of the two-layer thin viscous shock layer (TVSL) approximation in the neighborhood of non-slender bodies is considered. A class of similarity variables which make it possible to reduce the complex kinetic problem considered to the well-known Navier—Stokes problem of thin viscous shock layer is suggested.
