STUDIES IN HYPERSONIC FLOW THEORY

Abstract

A summary is presented of the results of graduate study at Stanford University in hypersonic flow theory. Study included: Effects of nose bluntness on a slender body; Flow past inclined blunt bodies; Unsteady hypersonic flow theory; Viscous effects on blunt bodies; Irreversible processes in dilute gases; Blunt bodies at low Reynolds number; Vortical layer on an inclined cone; and Interaction of entropy and boundary layer.
