Local viscous, chemically nonequilibrium flows (Q761309)

A study is made of a chemically nonequilibrium flow in local regions near cold walls. It is found that in this case the chemically reactions can take place only on a catalytic surface, and the gas can be regarded as a binary mixture of atoms and molecules. As an example, a study is made of the aerodynamic heating of a small step on the surface of a plate in the case when the flow past the plate is described in the first approximation when the Reynolds number tends to infinity by the Navier-Stokes equations for an incompressible gas.
