	  abstract     = {The aim of this work is to analyze a viscous flow
around the axisymmetric blunt body taken into account the mesh size
both in the free stream and into the boundary layer. The resolution of
the Navier-Stokes equations is realized by using the finite volume
method to determine the flow parameters and detached shock
position. The numerical technique uses the Flux Vector Splitting
method of Van Leer. Here, adequate time stepping parameter, CFL
coefficient and mesh size level are selected to ensure numerical
convergence. The effect of the mesh size is significant on the shear
stress and velocity profile. The best solution is obtained with using a
very fine grid. This study enabled us to confirm that the
determination of boundary layer thickness can be obtained only if the
size of the mesh is lower than a certain value limits given by our
calculations.
