    Abstract

    The hypersonic rarefied gas flow over blunt bodies in the transitional flow regime, typical of the reentry flight of space vehicles at altitudes higher 90-100 km, is investigated. As an example, the problem of hypersonic flows over long blunt wings and axisymmetric bodies is considered. It is analyzed in a wide range of the free stream Knudsen number by using various approaches: the continuum approach-numerical and analytical solutions, the direct simulation Monte Carlo method and the direct numerical solution of the Boltzmann kinetic equation with the S-model collision integral. The efficiency, domain of applicability, advantages and disadvantages of various approaches in the transitional flow regime are considered. © 2012 American Institute of Physics.
