Computational Simulation of Hypersonic Flow around Blunt and Slender Pointed Bodies

The purpose of this investigation is consideration of aerothermodynamic phenomena over blunt and slender pointed bodies in hypersonic flows. Such results may be obtained by numerically solving the full Navier-Stokes equations or one of their various subsets، such as PNS equations. However، due to the excessive computer storage and CPU requirements، most people use their simple forms. In this work، a computer code was developed that uses an implicit finite difference method to solve non-similar، full compressible boundary layer equations for laminar، transitional، and turbulent flows over blunt and slender pointed bodies in hypersonic flows. Different test cases were studied and the related results were compared to benchmark CFD and experimental data showing relatively close agreements.
