Abstract
The aim of this paper is to introduce and validate a coupled Navier-St okes Boltzman approach for the calculation of hypersonic rarefied flow s around manoeuvering vehicles. The proposed strategy uses locally a k inetic model in the boundary layer coupled through wall friction force s to a global Navier-Stokes solver. Different numerical experiments il lustrate the potentialities of the method. (C) 1996 Academic Press, In c.
