Abstract
An analytical two-dimensional model is presented for shock-tube
generated flat plate boundary layer flow. Assumptions made include
laminar flow, no radiation losses or diffusion, constant free stream
conditions along the flow direction, no electric or magnetic fields, and
thermal equilibrium. Equations are defined for conservation of
continuity, momentum, energy, and electron gas, and for the state of the
plasma. Transformations are introduced to reduce the normal two-point
boundary value problem to a Cauchy problem. Additional assumptions are
made of constant values for the Prandtl and Lewis numbers and the
exponential dependence (ED) of the density-viscosity product on the
temperature. The model is illustrated for argon flows over isothermal
and isolated plates. The Prandtl number and ED are found to be
significant factors in the flowfields generated.
