DESCRIPTION OF IBM 709/90/94 COMPUTER PROGRAMS AND ANALYSIS FOR FLOW FIELDS ABOUT BODIES OF REVOLUTION IN HYPERSONIC FLIGHT

Abstract

The programs described make it possible to generate the entire flow field about axisymmetric bodies of revolution in hypersonic flight. These second generation programs can accommodate virtually any geometrical configuration, including those having very blunt noses and after-bodies with expansion and reentrant corners. The gas considered is in chemical equilibrium and includes the effects of gas dissociation and vibrational excitation.
