Hypersonic Heat Transfer Measurements on Re-Entry Vehicle Surfaces at High Reynolds Number.
Abstract
Heat transfer rates using calorimeter sensors, and pressures using variable reluctance diaphragm transducers, have been measured on five model shapes at Mach numbers of 15 and 20 and over a unit Reynolds number range of 2 million to 7 million per foot. Two basic shapes, a hemisphere and a half-angle biconic configuration with and without nose bluntness, were tested with different surface roughness. The results are reported and discussed.
