PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION ON A BLUNTED 15 DEGREES CIRCULAR CONE

Abstract

Results are presented for an experimental wind tunnel investigation conducted at Mach 8. The effect of angle of attack and of Reynolds number variation on the pressure distribution on a blunted 15 degree semi-vortex angle right circular cone of 0.40-in. nose radius and 10.75-in. length is considered. Axial and peripheral pressure distributions are presented. Several existing theories are included and comparisons are made between them and experimental results. (Author)
