Abstract <p>This work investigated numerically the dynamics of weak far-field shock waves and the possibility of reducing the intensity of shock waves from a body in a spatial configuration through local heating of the incoming supersonic flow near the body. The body was a pointed thin body of revolution, in front of which an aerodynamic surface in the form of a thin disk was located at an angle to the incoming flow. The Mach number of the incoming air flow was 2. The calculations were performed using the combined “phantom body” method. It has been shown that local heating of the incoming flow near the body ensures a decrease in the intensity of the far-field shock waves.</p>
