Hypersonic Boundary Layers

Hypersonic Boundary Layers is a boundary-layer theory construct that characterizes the thin, viscous fluid region adjacent to a surface exposed to hypersonic free-stream flows, distinguished by high Mach numbers, intense aerodynamic heating, significant compressibility effects, and potential for real-gas phenomena.
