Abstract

The features of the flow in the zone of interaction between a plane bow shock and an oblique shock or an isentropic compression wave are studied. The limiting interaction regimes are considered analytically, the similarity conditions are formulated, and the limiting values of the flow parameters are determined for the high-pressure compressed gas jet formed in the interference and for the body surface. On the basis of a numerical solution of the Euler equations the flow specifics in the neighborhood of the spreading line on the body are determined and ways of reducing the dynamic and thermal loadings on this line are proposed.
