Summary

The laminar compressible boundary layer induced by the passage of a plane shock wave over a flat wall is examined in detail. Use is made of the empirical viscosity-temperature relationship μ ∝ Tω. The boundary-layer equations are solved numerically for various values of the index ω, Prandtl number and shock strengths. The resulting solutions are then used to construct simple semi-empirical relationships for some of the more important boundary-layer parameters.
