The present work considers theoretically the problem of radiation losses on the shock layer during hypersonic flight, and in particular, results are presented for the stagnation line shock layer for a wide variety of flight conditions, providing a new overview of radiation-gas dynamic coupling within a shock layer. The present results are based on a previous model (Engel, Farmer, et al., 1973) of a viscous radiating shock layer. An important result is that the radiation-gas dynamic coupling effect on the radiative heating can be related to a single parameter, namely, the radiative cooling parameter, whereas the effect on the shock layer thickness is not a simple function of this parameter.
