Using the grey gas approximation, the effect of radiative heat loss on axially symmetric flows is studied. Using an expansion procedure about the axis of symmetry, a numerical solution for the stagnation region is found taking the shock to be spherical. The results of this calculation are compared with the results of Lighthill's non-radiative constant density solution.

The paper examines the stability of the uniform flow which approaches a two-dimensional stagnation region formed when a cylinder or a two-dimensional blunt body of finite curvature is immersed in a crossflow. It is shown that such a flow is unstable with respect to three-dimensional disturbances. This conclusion is reached on the basis of a mathematical analysis of a simplified form of the disturbance equation for the stream-wise component of the vorticity vector. The ultimate, or stable, flow pattern is governed by a singular Sturm–Liouville problem whose solution possesses a single eigenvalue. The resulting flow is one in which a regularly distributed system of counter-rotating vortices is super-imposed on the basic, Hiemenz-like pattern of streamlines. The spacing of the vortices is a unique function of the characteristics of the flow, and a theoretical estimate for it agrees well with experimental results. The analysis is extended heuristically to include the effect of free-stream turbulence on the spacing.The problem is similar to the classical Görtler–Hämmerlin study of the stability of stagnation flow against an infinite flat plate, which revealed the existence of a spectrum of eigenvalues for the disturbance equation. The present analysis yields the same result when an infinite radius of curvature is assumed for the blunt body.

The present study considers the heat interaction between a combustible mixture and a constant-temperature surface near the stagnation region of a blunt body. The steady-state governing equations have been solved numerically for the case of Le = 1. A second-order Arrhenius law is assumed to describe the chemical kinetics of the mixture. The first Damko¨hler similarity parameter is shown to critically influence the surface heat transfer. The parameter represents a measure of the convective time to the chemical time.
