Effect of energy release in the shock layer on supersonic flight

Abstract

The presence of an energy release zone in a supersonic stream leads to the formation of perturbations propagated from the source of energy release [1, 2]. The action of such a stream on a body past which it flows is determined by the strength of the source and the configuration and location of the energy release zone. The dependence of the aerodynamic characteristics of a blunt cone on the parameters of the source of energy release is analyzed on the basis of the results of a numerical integration of the equations of motion of the gas.
