Keywords: aerothermodynamic characteristics, two-dimensional bluff bodies, hypersonic viscous flows

The flow structure about two-dimensional bluff bodies (two irregular cylinders in tandem, plate-cylinder configurations, and torus) in hypersonic viscous flow has been studied. The grid equations approximated the Navier-Stokes equations were numerically solved by application of the second-order implicit monotonized scheme, the modified Newton's method, and the Christoffel-Schwartz grid-transformation technique.
