Abstract

A systematic study of laminar viscous supersonic flows past rectangular cavities in a flat plate was carried out on the basis of the numerical integration of the Navier-Stokes equations. The greater part of calculations was performed at a Mach number of the outer flow equal to 3 and at a surface temperature amounting to 20% of the stagnation temperature. The pressure, surface friction and heat flux profiles on the plate and on the cavity walls and bottom, together with the streamline pattern, were obtained for various Reynolds numbers.
