description The results of a numerical solution of the problem of supersonic flow past a blunt fin mounted on a plate with a developing boundary layer are presented. The initial formulation of the problem is based on the presented in the literature computational and experimental investigation, in which the laminar flow regime was studied for the fin perpendicular to the plate at the free-stream Mach number equal to 6.7. Earlier, the authors showed (2020) that under these conditions there exist two stable solutions to the problem. These solutions correspond to the metastable states of flow with different configurations of the vortex structure and different patterns of local heat transfer. In the present study, the influence of a temperature ratio on the vortex structure in the separation region, local heat transfer, and the possibility of obtaining a dual solution are investigated. The ability to switch between solutions of two types using a short-time change in the plate temperature ratio are shown.
