Numerical study of the effects of slip and a temperature discontinuity on the surface of a sphere in a supersonic flow

This article examines the effect of boundary conditions for slip and temperature discontinuity on drag and heat-transfer characteristics. Numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations are used to analyze the dependence of these effects on the governing parameters of the flow.Translated from Inzhenerno-Fizicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 53, No. 3, pp. 446–450, September, 1987.
