An Approximate Solution to Hypersonic Blunt-B ody Problem
The infinite series in Eqs. (4) and (7) converges rapidly, and only a few terms will suffice to give a satisfactory accuracy. Eliminating V0 from Eqs. (4) by the substitution of (7) and discarding the terms having negligible contribution will yield a set of simplified simultaneous equations which can be solved either graphically or by iteration procedures. The solution can be made much easier by finding the approximate value of 0i in advance from the following singleterm condition:
