INHIBITION OF FLOW SEPARATION AT HIGH SPEED. VOLUME IV. CALCULATION OF NONADIABATIC LAMINAR BOUNDARY LAYERS ON CONICAL COMPRESSION SURFACES.

Abstract

The purpose of the report is to extend other work to configurations representative of axisymmetric compression spikes. The analysis is developed and a computer program written for a spike which consists of a conical nose on which separation occurs followed by a compression surface. No data were found to compare with the theory. A calculation made with the pressure gradient prescribed by the body shape rather than by free interaction is compared with experiment. The comparisons, which were made for skin friction, heat transfer, and pressure distributions, were good. The significant effect of wall cooling in delaying separation for the prescribed pressure gradient case is shown. It is also shown that a free-interaction solution can be joined to a prescribed pressure gradient solution so that the solution will go smoothly through separation to reattachment. (Author)
