Prandtl Numbers

Stewartson's theory for axisymmetric hypersonic flow of a model gas over slender bodies with strong viscous interaction and strong shock wave is extended to power-law viscosity variation and Prandtl numbers other than one. Flow properties at the body surface and shock are obtained without recourse to numerical integration. Numerical computations are presented for axisymmetric flow over a three-quarter power-law body with strong shock wave and viscous interactions that range from weak to strong.

Astrophysical Scale

Recent astronomical measurements of solar and celestial X-radiation have led to renewed interest in strong shock-wave phenomena arising from explosions which occur on an astrophysical scale as in solar flares, novae and in supernovae. Although on a much smaller scale, the ‘Starfish’ nuclear explosion at an altitude of 400 km over Johnson Island in 1962, provides a useful test of current understanding in this field.
