Abstract:
Investigation is performed of the effect of longitudinal nonisothermality on the level of heat fluxes to a blunt anisotropic body from wall gasdynamic flows which differ from those in boundary layers by the inclusion of the second derivatives of gasdynamic characteristics with respect to longitudinal variable. The longitudinal nonisothermality is largely formed by the value of longitudinal component of pressure gradient in nonviscous flow and by the characteristics of the tensor of thermal conductivity of the body subjected to flow. A possibility arises of significantly reducing heat fluxes to the side surface of blunt body by varying the characteristics of anisotropic material of this body.
