Abstract

The singularities of the boundary layer equations and the laminar viscous gas flow structure in the vicinity of the convergence plane on sharp conical bodies at incidence are analyzed. In the outer part of the boundary layer the singularities are obtained in explicit form. It is shown that in the vicinity of a singularity a boundary domain, in which the flow is governed by the shortened Navier-Stokes equations, is formed; their regular solutions are obtained. The viscous-inviscid interaction effect predominates in a region whose extent is of the order of the square root of the boundary layer thickness, in which the flow is described by a two-layer model, namely, the Euler equations in the slender-body approximation for the outer region and the three-dimensional boundary layer equations; the pressure is determined from the interaction conditions. On the basis of an analysis of the solutions for the outer part of the boundary layer it is shown that interaction leads to attenuation of the singularities and the dependence of the nature of the flow on the longitudinal coordinate, but does not make it possible to eliminate the singularities completely.
