MASS TRANSFER AND FIRST-ORDER BOUNDARY -LAYER EFFECTS ON SHARP CONE DRAG
Abstract
A theoretical model is developed based on an iterated perfect gas inviscid-viscous flow field which includes first-order displacement (viscous interaction), transverse curvature, wall slip, and temperature jump in addition to mass transfer effects. The effects of inviscid (tangent cone) and viscous (nonsimilar laminar boundary layer) flow field matching conditions are also considered. The predicted viscous-induced pressure without mass transfer and the zero-lift drag with and without injection were in agreement with the experimental data within experimental uncertainty. The theoretical model was also used to predict zero-lift drag of a 9-deg half-angle cone at Mach = 9.37 and 10 and Reynolds number/in. = 400 to 45,000 for a range of wall-to-stagnation temperature ratios. Again, in general, without mass transfer the predictions were within experimental uncertainty. The inability of the theoretical model to adequately treat nonuniform mass transfer distributions is discussed. At the lowest Reynolds number the effects of slip were most significant. At all conditions the effects of inviscid-viscous flow field matching were significant. Experimental zero injection equilibrium wall temperature distributions and cool- wall pressure data are given.
