EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF HEAT TRANSFER TO COMPLEX AERODYNAMIC CONFIGURATIONS AT HYPERSONIC SPEEDS,

Abstract

Tests th a heat sensitive paint and ceramic models representative of an Aerospaceplane were conducted in Tunnel C, VKF, Arnold Center. The purpose was to locate regions of severe heating and to obtain an approximation of the heat flux through the use of calibration spheres. Te complex configurations produced some interesting and unexpected heating patterns. Te magnitudes of the heat transfer coefficients on the models were found to be measurable by this method within = 15%. It is concluded that this is an excellent technique for locating and measuring high fluxes, especially when used as a preliminary to conventional heat transfer and pressure testing procedures.
