Kinetic viscous shock layer near a rotating sharp cone

The paper considers a nonequilibrium (in terms of internal and translational degrees of freedom) flow of a polyatomic gas in a macrokinetic thin viscous shock layer (kinetic TVSL) near a circular sharp cone rotating around its own axis. A transformation of variables that regularizes the problem is proposed. The possibility of constructing a solution to the considered problem for a kinetic TVSL based on the Navier–Stokes model for solving this problem is indicated. A closed local regularized problem is formulated that describes an irregular flow in a kinetic TVSL near the pointed tip of a rotating cone.
