DIGITAL PROGRAMS FOR CALCULATING THE PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION OVER TWO-DIMENSIONAL BODIES AND THE DETERMINATION OF STREAMLINES AND HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS FOR BLUNTED CONES AT ANGLE OF ATTACK

Abstract

A digital program for calculating pressures along a two-dimensional body is described. The program is written for use with the IBM 7090 Fortran monitoring system. Local, asymptotic, blast waveAND VISCOUS PRESSURES ARE CALCULATED AT I STATIONS ALONG THE BODY USING A MODIFIED Creager Blast Wave Analysis. For each body the angle of attack can be varied over 20 different values and the free stream conditions can be varied over 50 different sets of values. A digital program is also described which permits an engineering analysis of the laminar heat transfer on a spherically blunted cone at angle of attack for hypersonic flight speeds. As part of the analysis, the surface streamlines on the cone are generated. The program is written assuming an ideal gas.
