Abstract
The aerodynamic coefficients of a plate in a hypersonic stream at low Reynolds numbers are studied over a wide range of similarity parameters. The dependence of the lift coefficientC Y on the tangential force coefficient, the finite Mach number at the outer edge of the boundary layer and the velocity-slip and temperature-jump boundary conditions is taken into consideration. The nonmonotonic character of the relationship betweenC Y and the Reynolds number, revealed previously in experiments, is explained within the framework of the viscous hypersonic interaction model.
