COMMENTS ON THE USE OF COMBUSTION GASES AS AN AERODYNAMIC TEST MEDIUM

Abstract

Theoretical and experimental studies of pressure and heat transfer distributions for simple bodies at a Mach number of about 6.5 and a stagnation temperature of about 3000 R have been accomplished using both air and combustion gas as the testing media. The experimental differences between test media indicate that the use of combustion gases in the regime investigated does not appear promising. Gas -liquid phase changes caused test complication. and the attendant test results were difficult to interpret or adjust to actual flight conditions
