A Simplified Model of the Laminar Wake of a Hypersonic Body for Studying Electromagnetic Effects.

R. D. Engel

ResearchPublished 1963

A study of the problem of the absorption and reflection of electromagnetic energy from the wake of a body moving at hypersonic speed through the atmosphere. A simplified analytical model is presented for investigating such wake characteristics as electron density, collision frequency, velocity, and temperature. The model thus furnishes the information necessary for studying the electromagnetic scattering properties of the wake
