NEAR WAKE MEASUREMENTS IN THE PRESENCE OF AN INSTRUMENTATION BOOM

Abstract

A series of experimental tests were run to determine the effect on the near wake flow field of inserting an instrumentation boom in the base region of a sharp cone. Test data were obtained for a free stream Mach number of 7.7, Reynolds numbers corresponding to either completely laminar or fully turbulent flow on the cone surface, and for a 10 degree half angle cone with a boom length of one and a half base diameters. The data were compared to the clean base configuration and it was found that the adjacent flow field was disturbed considerably by the presence of the boom.
