On the ionized gas boundary layer adjacent to the bodies of revolution in the case of variable electroconductivity

Abstract

This paper studies the ionized gas i.e. air flow in an axisymmetrical boundary layer adjacent to the bodies of revolution. The contour of the body within the fluid is nonporous. The ionized gas flows under the conditions of equilibrium ionization. A concrete form of the electroconductivity variation law has been assumed and studied here. Through transformation of variables and introduction of sets of parameters, V. N. Saljnikov's version of the general similarity method has been successfully applied. Generalized equations of axisymmetrical ionized gas boundary layer have been obtained and then numerically solved in a three-parametric localized approximation.
