Abstract An asymptotic analysis of the equations describing supersonic turbulent flow over an adiabatic wall is carried out for high Reynolds numbers, Re, and mainstream Mach numbers, A general expression for the adiabatic-wall temperature is derived. The asymptotic theory constrains the types of turbulence models that are suitable to represent the effects of viscous dissipation. A simple algebraic turbulence model is proposed and comparisons with measured total enthalpy profile data show good agreement, capturing the overshoot observed in total enthalpy near the boundary-layer edge.
