Streamline Geometry and Equivalent Radius over a Flat Delta Wing with Cylindrical Leading Edge at Angles of Attack.

Abstract

An exact method has been developed for determining the streamline geometry and equivalent radius (the scale factor for the normal coordinate in a streamwise coordinate system) over a flat delta wing with cylindrical leading edge at angles of attack. This method requires a knowledge of the surface inviscid pressure distribution, either theoretical or experimental. With the aid of the present method, three-dimensional hypersonic heat transfer can be simply calculated through the axisymmetric analogue. Results are presented for flat delta wings traveling at hypersonic speeds and at various angles of attack.
