| Summary: | The method of integral relations is used to calculate supersonic nonequilibrium flow past wedges and circular cones at zero incidence. Vibrational relaxation in a pure diatomic gas is considered. The governing equations are converted to approximate systems of ordinary differential equations which are solved on a high-speed digital computer as initial-value problems. Calculations are performed through the third approximation for the wedge and through the second approximation for the cone. These calculations are compared with existing calculations based on the method of characteristics. |
