LAMINAR SEPARATION IN HYPERSONIC FLOWS
Abstract
An experimental investigation of the laminar flow over a cone-cavity model with a rounded reattachment shoulder at zero angle of attack was conducted at M=5.4. For mass injection into the cavity at rates up to eight-tenths the boundary layer mass flow at separation, the pressure and heat transfer distributions along the surface were obtained, with emphasis on the reattachment zone. A simple empirical correlation was established between reattachment pressure and heat transfer peaks as a function of injection rate.
