A REVIEW OF THE WORK PERFORMED AT THE POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE OF BROOKLYN AEROSPACE INSTITUTE,
Abstract
Theoretical and experimental investigations of problems connected with hypersonic flows and hypersonic wind tunnels are reviewed. This research is concerned with two-and threedimensional boundary layer flows and the determination of the pressure distribution about hypersonic bodies. A study of low density effects at hypersonic speeds is made both theoretically and experimentally. During the early part of the research a study of an advanced device for hypersonic wind tunnel operation is carried out. An investigation of supersonic combustion is made. Theoretical and experimental results of mass transfer are presented. Finally, some problems bearing on thermochemistry and real gas effects are investigated. (Author)
