Abstract

A method of characteristics is developed for the numerical solution of kinetic equations in the case of fully developed plane-parallel motions of a gas. A solution is given to the problem of flow around a plate arranged normal to an oncoming supersonic flow. The results of the calculations are in satisfactory agreement with existing experimental data.
