Popis: Aerodynamic interactions of objects in a continuum hypersonic flow are numerically and analytically investigated for perfect gas conditions. An innovative semi-analytical methodology has been developed and applied to compute the aerodynamics coefficients of a sphere located downstream the shock wave issued from a primary object. The influence of the aerodynamic interactions on the trajectory of a debris cloud during atmospheric reentry has also been assessed and compared to the trajectory of the same non-interacting objects.
