Abstract
During hypersonic gas flow past a blunt body with a velocity on the order of the escape velocity or more, the gas radiation in the disturbed region behind the shock wave becomes the primary mechanism for aerodynamic heating and has a significant effect on the distribution of the gasdynamic parameters in the shock layer. This problem has been considered from different points of view by many authors. A rather complete review of these studies is presented in [1–4].
In earlier studies [5, 6] the approximation of “bulk” emission was used. In this approximation, in order to account for the effect of radiative heat transfer a term is added in the energy equation which is equivalent to the body efflux, whose magnitude depends on the local thermodynamic state of the gas. However, the use of this assumption to solve the problem of inviscid flow past a blunt body leads to a singularity at the body [7, 8]. To eliminate the singularity, account is taken of the radiation absorption in a narrow wall layer [7], or the concept of a viscous and heat-conductive shock layer is used [8]. A further refinement was obtained by Rumynskii, who considered radiation selectivity and studied the flow of a radiating and absorbing gas in the vicinity of the forward stagnation point of a blunt body.
In the present paper we study the distribution of the gasdynamic parameters in the shock layer over the entire frontal surface of a blunt body in a hypersonic flow of a radiating and absorbing gas with account for radiation selectivity.
