Abstract

for stationary hypersonic-limit Euler flows passing a solid body in three-dimensional space, the shock-front coincides with the upwind surface of the body, hence there is an infinite-thin layer of concentrated mass, in which all particles hitting the body move along its upwind surface. By proposing a concept of Radon measure solutions of boundary value problems of the multi-dimensional compressible Euler equations, which incorporates the large-scale of three-dimensional distributions of upcoming hypersonic flows and the small-scale of particles moving on two-dimensional surfaces, the authors derive the compressible Euler equations for flows in concentration layers, which is a stationary pressureless compressible Euler system with source terms and independent variables on curved surface. As a by-product, they obtain a formula for pressure distribution on surfaces of general obstacles in hypersonic flows, which is a generalization of the classical Newton-Busemann law for drag/lift in hypersonic aerodynamics.
