Abstract
A theoretical analysis has been made of turbulent viscous interaction on iso-thermal surfaces at hypersonic speeds. The important parameters governing the effects of incidence and displacement have been obtained under both strong and weak interaction conditions for flat-plate flows. A more general expression relating boundary-layer growth to the external pressure field and effective body shape has been obtained. The method is applied to the wedge compression corner problem and the results compared with some experimental data.
