Abstract
Supersonic laminar boundary-layer equations near the plane of symmetry of a cone at incidence are treated by the similarity method. Numerical integration of differential equations governing such a flow is performed, taking into consideration the temperature dependence of the Prandtl numberPrand viscosity μ throughout the boundary layer. On the leeward side, a detailed consideration of the solutions shows the existence of two solutions up to a critical incidence beyond which it appears that no solution may be found. Calculations carried out for a set of values of the external flow Mach number show up a significant effect of this parameter on the behaviour of the boundary layer.
