PRESSURE TEST ON A 0.04-SCALE MODEL OF THE SATURN V LAUNCH VEHICLE AT MACH NUMBERS FROM 0.60 THROUGH 1.45

Abstract

Static pressure distribution and boundary-layer profiles were obtained on a 0.04-scale model of the Saturn V vehicle at Mach numbers from 0.60 to 1.45. The Reynolds number based on the model diameter varied from 3.3 to 6.0 million. Unsteady pressures were also measured over the full Mach number range; however, these data are not presented in this report. Protuberances on the model affected local static pressures, but did not alter the overall distribution significantly.
