Approximate analytical solutions are presented for two-dimensional and axisymmetric hypersonic flow over slender power law bodies. Both zero-order (M->∞) and

Advances in Applied Mechanics

The exact 'constant-energy' solution of strong blast waves is expanded in powers of the density ratio across the shock wave; physical quantities are expressed d

Unified, self-contained view of nonequilibrium effects, body geometries, and similitudes available in hypersonic flow and thin shock layer; appropriate for grad
