EXPERIMENTAL MEASUREMENTS OF HYPERSONIC CORNER FLOW
Abstract
An experimental investigation has been conducted of the viscous- inviscid interaction occurring along the interior corner of two intersecting flat plates under hypersonic, low density, conditions. The program involves the measurement of surface heat transfer rates and surface pressures in the vicinity of a corner with included angles of 60 degrees, 90 degrees and 120 degrees. The interpretation of these measurements gives rise to some understanding of local flow behavior and, therefore, on the nature of the three-dimensional boundary layer and shock shape within the corner region. In addition, pitot and temperature surveys are conducted in cross planes to obtain information pertaining to the flow field variables within the corner region, and also, the complex shock configuration which extends into the viscous layer. This data is presented on contour maps in order to facilitate easier visual interpretation.
