The Insensitivity of Heat Transfer to the Inclusion of First Order Slip Boundary Conditions for Similar Laminar Hypersonic Boundary Layers.

ResearchPublished 1963
A modification of the hypersonic similar laminar boundary layer problem to include first order slip boundary conditions. Their inclusion results in no change in the energy transfer to the wall from the no-slip values, implying that slip effects alone are not adequate to explain the appearance of the heat transfer "plateaus" observed near the leading edge of a sharp flat plate in hypersonic flow. In addition, it is shown how the inclusion of slip boundary condition as the only higher order effect results in complete disagreement with observed pressure measurements for the cold wall case.

The paper series was a product of RAND from 1948 to 2003 that captured speeches, memorials, and derivative research, usually prepared on authors' own time and meant to be the scholarly or scientific contribution of individual authors to their professional fields. Papers were less formal than reports and did not require rigorous peer review.
