The Development of High Order Numerical Techniques for Reentry Simulation of Hypersonic Spacecraft [PDF]
, 1991 The primary difficulty encountered when simulating hypersonic flow is that the flow normally includes strong nonlinear discontinuities. These discontinuities fall into three broad classes: shocks, slip-lines, and rarefaction waves.

Analysis of Aerothermal Environment Characteristics of Hypersonic Rudder Shaft Gaps
气体物理Rudder shaft gaps of hypersonic vehicles affect the flow structure and corresponding aerodynamic heating characteristics, resulting in local peak heating near the rudder shaft, which poses a safety risk to the local thermal protection system.
