The development of weak waves in the steady two-dimensional flow of a gas with vibrational relaxation past a thin wedge
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 March 2006
Abstract
The method of characteristics is used to calculate the supersonic flow past a wedge of small angle with non-equilibrium effects. The wave decay and development distances are presented in a concise similarity form which permits accurate extrapolation to very weak waves. The numerical solutions are compared with shock-tube flows of CO2 and N2O.
