ASYMPTOTIC THEORY OF INVISCID HYPERSONIC FLOW AT LARGE DISTANCE FROM A BLUNT-NOSED BODY,
Abstract
The flow far away from a blunt body at infinite Mach number can be described approximately by blast-wave theory. The solution thus given is regarded as the first term in an asymptotic representation for large downstream distance. In the recent literature, attempts have been made, by Guiraud and by Vaglio-Laurin, to obtain a second approximation. Their procedures differ in the manner of matching inner and outer asymptotic expansions. They obtain different orders of magnitude for the effect of the entropy layer, and therefore find different solutions. This report gives an independent derivation; the results agree with Guiraud's.
