                         incidence is investigated for a range of freestream Mach number 
                         from 5 to 12. The simulations were performed by using a Direct 
                         Simulation Monte Carlo Method. A method that has demonstrated to 
                         yield excellent comparison with experimental data, and that 
                         properly accounts for thermal nonequilibrium effects that arise 
                         near the leading edge and that are especially important at high 
                         Mach number. The work is motivated by interest in assessing the 
                         overall performance of power-law shaped leading edges in order to 
                         consider them as possible candidates for blunting geometries of 
                         hypersonic leading edges. The results presented highlight the 
                         sensitivity of the heat transfer coe±cient, the total drag 
                         coefficient, and the shock wave standoff distance to changes on
