Abstract

We study steady uniform hypersonic-limit Euler flows passing a finite cylindrically symmetric conical body in the Euclidean space R3, and its interaction with downstream static gas lying behind the tail of the body. Motivated by Newton’s theory of infinite-thin shock layers, we propose and construct Radon measure solutions with density containing Dirac measures supported on surfaces and prove the Newton-Busemann pressure law of hypersonic aerodynamics. It happens that if the pressure of the downstream static gas is quite large, the Radon measure solution terminates at a finite distance from the tail of the body. The main difficulty of the analysis is a correct definition of Radon measure solutions. The results are helpful to understand mathematically some physical phenomena and formulas about hypersonic inviscid flows.
