The characteristics of hypersonic flow can be computed using the fluid dynamic phenomena, when the configuration geometry, the attitude or orientation of the geometry to the freestream flow, and the altitude at which the vehicle flies or the test conditions of a wind tunnel simulation are known. For calculating the aerodynamic forces acting on a flying vehicle, it is necessary to know the atmospheric conditions prevailing around it. To solve the flow field between the bow shock wave and the surface of a vehicle flying at hypersonic speed, it is necessary to develop the governing equations of motion and the appropriate flow models. In the case of hypersonic flows, even for the case of slender bodies, the shocks present cannot be assumed to be Mach waves, as in the case of supersonic flows. To take into account the effect of the freestream Mach number, the Newtons formula depends on geometry only.
