ANNUAL REPORT, OCTOBER 1, 1964 TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1965.

Abstract

The objectives of the research carried out on 'Phenomena around High Speed Flow' are: (a) Investigation of properties of gas at high temperatures; (b) Study of the effects of these properties in high speed flow and of methods for taking acount of them in calculations referring to the motion of bodies through gases; (c) Investigation of problems of electro- and magnetogasdynamics and of other aspects of high speed flow. Topic (a) consists of determination of transport coefficients, both theoretically and experimentally. Topic (b) is concerned with the construction of the flow equations, including effects of chemical reaction, ionization and thermal radiation. Topic (c) studies various flow problems which are of interest in aerospace engineering such as heat transfer in reentry conditions, magnetic fields in the space between sun and earth and in the magnetosphere.
