Abstract

The unsteady flow in the neighborhood of the stagnation line on a sphere traveling at supersonic speed through a plane layer of diatomic gas with elevated temperature and nonequilibrium excitation of the molecular vibrations is investigated. (The source of the inhomogeneity could be a gas discharge [1].) The problem is solved using the viscous shock layer model which makes it possible to take molecular transport processes into account and analyze the unsteady heat transfer. Such flows were previously calculated in [2] within the framework of the inviscid gas model.
