Stewartson's theory for axisymmetric hypersonic flow of a model gas over slender bodies with strong viscous interaction and strong shock wave is extended to power-law viscosity variation and Prandtl numbers other than one. Flow properties at the body surface and shock are obtained without recourse to numerical integration. Numerical computations are presented for axisymmetric flow over a three-quarter power-law body with strong shock wave and viscous interactions that range from weak to strong.

The growth of hypersonic boundary layers over both concave and convex surfaces is described, the strong-viscous-interaction equation due to Cheng et al. (1961) for curved surfaces with sharp leading edges being solved asymptotically for small and large arguments. Both the asymptotic solution for large arguments and a numerical integration predict an oscillatory behaviour of the boundary-layer thickness on concave surfaces. A modification of Cheng's theory, as suggested by Sullivan (1968) and Stollery (1970), is also examined and compared with experimental data reported here. The experiments were conducted in air using a hypersonic gun tunnel under cold wall conditions at M∞ = 12·25. They included measurement of surface pressure, heat-transfer distributions and schlieren studies for concave and convex models.
