Extract

The note is concerned with four points in the analysis of laminar shock-induced boundary-layers in undissociated gases. The first point concerns the restrictions imposed by the requirement that similar solutions be obtained. The second point concerns the properties of two simple solutions which can be obtained when the Prandtl number is unity. The third point concerns the accurate prediction of surface heat transfer rate in terms of surface shear stress. Here, an extension and correction to a method employed by Spence is presented. The fourth point concerns the accurate prediction of surface shear stress, a slight modification to an existing mean enthalpy method being suggested in an attempt to correlate most of the available data.
