Aerothermodynamic Features of the External Flow Path
摘要
This chapter is devoted to an overview of the aerothermodynamic features present at airbreathing hypersonic flight vehicles. The chapter primarily concerns the external flow path. First the tasks of the technical discipline aerothermodynamics are sketched. It follows an overview of the flow phenomena, which can be found at the flight vehicles. Similarity rules are considered, some of the flow phenomena are discussed in more detail.
