Abstract

There exist various criteria to be satisfied by the free stream Mach number \( M_{\infty } \), which makes the flow to be classified hypersonic when it is very high supersonic. Depending on the value of the Mach number, we have hypersonic aerodynamics determined by a predominant parameter with which the flow physics does not change.
