Influence of sonic-line location on Mars Pathfinder Probe aerothermodynamics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors obtained flowfield solutions over the Mars Pathfinder Probe spanning the trajectory through the Martian atmosphere at angles of attack from 0 to 11 degrees and derived two regions where the derivative of pitching moment with respect to angle of attack is positive at small angles of attacks.

Hypersonic Lifting Body Windward Surface Flow-Field Analysis for High Angles of Incidence

TL;DR: In this paper, a windward surface flow-field analysis for general lifting body configurations at high angles of incidence under hypersonic perfect gas conditions is presented, where the boundary-layer analysis is based on the governing equations for yawed blunt body boundary layers.
