Abstract

A general numerical procedure is described whereby the details of the steady inviscid flow of a mixture of perfect gases about a blunt body, including the effects of finite dissociation and recombination rates, may be calculated. Several numerical examples are calculated in order to apply the numerical procedure to specific cases and also to show the effects of finite reaction times on the flow about a blunt body.
