Abstract
This paper deals with the problem of the steady-state hypersonic flow of an inviscid compressible gas past a wedge. Inside the wedge a magnetic field is excited in a direction perpendicular to the generator. The flow in the region of perturbation is investigated on the basis of the ordinary equations of magnetohydrodynamics and Ohm's law, written for the case where the Hall effect is taken into account. The system of equations obtained has been solved numerically on a computer by the method of finite differences. The results show that for the given problem the Hall effect intensifies the magnetohydrodynamic action of the magnetic field on the flow. M. D. Ladyzhenskii [1] has also studied hypersonic flow past bodies from inside which a magnetic field is excited. He has investigated the influence of a strong magnetic field on the flow for the case where the Hall effect is neglected. The object of the present study is to determine the importance of the Hall effect.
