Computations of the Shock Waves at Hypersonic Velocities Taken into Account the Chemical Reactions that Appear in the Air at High Temperatures

The temperature in the nose region of a hypersonic vehicle can be extremely high, for example, reaching approximately 11 000 K at a Mach number of 36 (Apollo reentry). The bow shock wave is normal, or nearly normal, in the nose region of a blunt body, and the gas temperature behind this shock wave c...
