The development of disturbances in three-dimensional viscous compressible flows is studied. The velocity of propagation of perturbations is determined from a numerical solution of a system of characteristics and subcharacteristics corresponding to wave processes in gas dynamics. As the first model problem, the hypersonic flow is considered of a viscous gas about a flat plate located in a stream at zero angle of attack. The propagation of perturbations in three-dimensional boundary layer is analyzed. The second model problem is concerned with of a stream-lining of a semi-infinite rectangular dihedral cone located at zero angle of attack to the running stream. The flow is described by the Navier-Stokes parabolized equations. A characteristic analysis shows that the longitudinal equation of impulse and equation of energy play the basic role in distribution of perturbations up to the stream. The results obtained show that, under numerical simulation of hypersonic flows of viscous gas, it is very important to correctly reproduce not only the flow in the main part of a boundary layer, but also in a subsonic sublayer in which the perturbations are spread.
