Abstract

The separation points which occur in the Newtonian theory of hypersonic flow are treated by locally modifying the shock-layer equations. This approach leads to direct verification of the free-layer theory for separation on certain bodies with discontinuous curvature. Separation points on bodies with continuous curvature have already been treated by matching the upstream shock-layer solution to the downstream free-layer solution. The agreement that is found between these results and those of the present approach provides further confirmation of the free-layer theory.
