An analysis technique applicable to the problem of leeward vortex-induced heat transfer on a sharp cone at high angles of incidence under hypersonic laminar flow conditions is presented. The analysis, a three-dimensional hypersonic viscous shock layer approach in conjunction with a numerical solution procedure, is shown to be both applicable and accurate based on comparisons of heat-transfer distributions, surface pressure distributions, and leeward meridian flow-field profile measurements taken in a hypersonic wind tunnel. Detailed calculations of the embedded vortex flow field on the leeward side of the cone are presented in such a manner as to clearly portray exactly how embedded vortex flow influences local heating rates.
