Calculation of convective heat transfer on highly blunt bodies at flow incidenceAn implicit finite-difference code is used to study three-dimensional viscous heat-conducting flows over the forebody of hypersonic vehicles. In the method, adaptive grids are generated to the shock and body contour, and local flow gradients and total enthalpy are used to control numerical dissipation. Typical axisymmetric configurations of a sphere, ellipsoid, and flat-face disk are considered, along with the cases of a blunt 70-deg cone at 0 and 20 deg flow incidences and an asymmetric 60-deg cone raked off at a 73-deg angle.
