The flowfield analysis around a model of space plane traveling at Mach 10 has been carried out utilizing an Electrical Discharge Method and a Finite Element Method (FEM) scheme. The Electrical Discharge Method can be visualized almost all important hypersonic flowfield phenomena, such as three-dimensional shock shapes, streamlines near wall surface, distant streamlines from wall surface, and boundary layers etc. In this study, the experiments and the numerical simulations were carried out under the conditions the angle of attack were 0 and 10 deg. Furthermore, the experimental results were compared with the numerical ones. In these comparisons, it was found that they were relatively in good agreement.
