ABSTRACT

Properties of binary-mixture compressible boundary layers have been investigated by means of the self-similar boundary-layer equations. Mach=2 boundary-layer velocity, density, temperature and concentration profiles have been computed. It was established that action of heavy gas injection on the boundary-layer is sim-ilar to the action of wall cooling and leads to an increase of boundary-layer stability and to the delay of the lam-inar-turbulent transition (LTT). Influence of a foreign gas injection on skin friction and heat transfer coeffi-cients has been investigated. It has been found that increase of foreign gas injection leads to the monotonous reduction of surface friction and heat transfer. Linear stability of Mach=2 boundary-layer has been investigated by means of the linear stability theory (LST). It has been established that injection of a heavy gas leads to the reduction of disturbance amplification rates. A prin-cipal possibility to enlarge the transition Reynolds numbers in approximately two times has been found.
