The monograph is devoted to the present-day state of a new
branch of aerodynamics, which is acquiring great practical
importance in connection with the development of aerospace
technology. A systematic analysis is given of the physico-chemical
processes in high-temperature gas flows and their effect on gas
dynamic parameters.
Information is given on the chemico-physical, thermodynamic,
and kinematic properties of gases (primarily air). The fundamental
equations are formulated, and the general properties of nonequilibrium
flows are described.
One-dimensional flows, the structure of a shock wave in a gas
mixture, and the properties of nonequilibrium flows in a stream
filament are discussed. A description is given of the method of
calculation and the similitude conditions for flows in nozzles.
The basic determining parameters and correlation relations are
introduced.
An analysis is given of the problems of external gas dynamics
of nonviscous nonequilibrium flows, of the flow around blunt and
sharp bodies, corresponding to the similitude laws. Within the
framework of the boundary layer theory, a discussion is given of
viscous nonequilibrium flows, including the effect of chemical
reactions on the surface, the flow in the neighborhood of a
critical point of a blunt body (including the effect of low gas
density), the flow around a flat plate and a cone, as well as the
characteristic features of nonequilibrium wake flows.
The effect of radiation from a gas flowing around blunt
bodies, the effect of nonequilibrium physico-chemical processes
in gases on aerodynamic and thermal characteristics of hypersonic
aircraft, and on the state of the flow in nozzles of gas dynamic
plants, etc., are described. The radiation thermal flows are
determined.

The book is designed for aeromechanical engineers acquainted
with the fundamentals of hypersonic gas dynamics, and it may also
be useful to upper-division and graduate students in those fields.
178 illustrations, 16 tables, 573 bibliographical entries.
