The Hypersonic Navier-Stokes Approximation for the Normal Shock Structure of a Perfect Gas with the Sutherland Viscosity Law: Review and Extension

By means of a four-region asymptotic analysis, a uniformly valid description of the Sutherland-viscosity-law Navier-Stokes structure of the normal shock wave in the hypersonic approximation is obtained.
