ON THE HYPERSONIC SHARP LEADING EDGE PROBLEM FOR BODIES OTHER THAN FLAT PLATES.
Abstract
The flow near the tip of pointed nosed bodies in hypersonic flight is considered. In particular, the region where continuum concepts are applicable, but where boundary layer theory is no longer valid, is studied using the model proposed by Oguchi for the flat plate problem. Both two-dimensional and axiallysymmetric bodies are considered. Solutions are obtained in the form of expansions valid near the nose tip. The surface pressure is found to approach a finite value as the tip is approached; numerical results for this limit value are obtained for various wall to total temperature ratios and tip semi-vertex angles.
