Abstract

The propagation of shock waves in a medium with a nonuniform distribution of the parameters is the subject of recently published research [1–3]. The present paper deals with the problem of the gas flow ahead of the forward point of a blunt body moving at supersonic speed in air with variable parameters. The chemical reaction processes behind the shock front are taken into account. As a result of numerical calculations by the method of characteristics with isolation of the forward shock the time-dependent position of the shock front and the distributions of the composition and gas dynamic parameters in the shock layer are found.
