Abstract
Perfect gas flows in an unlimited space, which occur during rectilinear motion of a system of distributed heat sources, are investigated. The next modes in order of growth of the number M are examined: the heat conductive, convective, subsonic, transonic, supersonic, hypersonic. Examples of computations are presented. Flows with distributed heat sources attract ever-increasing attention. Such flows are important, e.g., in the problem of radiation propagation [1–5], in the analysis of a gasdynamic laser resonator and the optical characteristics of a ray [6]. Changes in the density because of absorption of the ray energy, which can result in an essential redistribution of the radiation intensity, are of great interest in these problems. Theoretical investigations of a general nature with distributed heat supply [7–10] are also important for the development of further applications. Gas flows for a given distribution of relatively weak heat sources switched on at a certain time are examined in this paper.
