PRESSURE AND HEAT TRANSFER MEASUREMENTS FOR HYPERSONIC FLOWS OVER EXPANSION CORNERS AND AHEAD OF RAMPS. PART II: MACH 5 PRESSURE DATA FOR FLOWS AHEAD OF RAMPS PART OF AN INVESTIGATION OF HYPERSONIC FLOW SEPARATION AND CONTROL CHARACTERISTICS

Abstract

Pressure and heat transfer data were obtained for hypersonic flows over 40-degree expansion corners and ahead of ramps. Full and partial span ramps, having wedge angles up to 90 degrees, were tested at two locations on a sharp leading edge flat plate, with and without end plates. Pressure data were obtained for M sub infinity = 5 for model length Reynolds numbers between 1.1 and 6.6 million. Both pressure and heat transfer data were obtained for M sub infinity = 8 for Reynolds numbers between 1.1 and 3.3 million.
