Performance Capability of the NOL Hypersonic Tunnel

Abstract

The report summarizes the performance capability data of the U. S. Naval Ordnance Laboratory's Hypersonic Tunnel. The report includes a brief description of the facility, overall performance capability data, nozzle calibration data, and some nozzle boundary-layer thickness and temperature variation data. The nozzle aerodynamic design method is indicated and its adequacy in the range of the supply and test flow conditions of the Hypersonic Tunnel is briefly discussed. (Author)
