Abstract

On the basis of a self-similar solution as well as of the assumption of the “Transverse Motion” a general linear theory on hypersonic flow over a general slender body is set up in this paper. By means of this theory, the problem concerned can be put into a universal system of O.D.Eqs. which can be integrated numerically in advance.
