Extract

On the face of it boundary layer problems at hypersonic speed present enormous difficulties. However some aspects have turned out to be somewhat simpler than was visualised some years ago, and with the aid of certain simplifying assumptions many problems have been solved, at least to a good design approximation, and inaccuracies in the results are due not so much to the approximations involved, but to our lack of knowledge of the physical properties of air such as viscosity and Lewis number.
