Heat-Transfer Tests Using Thermographic Phosphor Paint on the High Altitude Supersonic Target (HAST) Missile at Mach Number 4

Abstract

Thermographic phosphor heat-transfer tests were made on two models (0.5-scale and 0.25-scale) of the High Altitude Supersonic Target (HAST) missile at Mach number 4 and a Reynolds number, based on model length, of 21 million. Angle of attack was varied from 0 to 12 deg; effects of canard settings of 0 and 15 deg for the 0.25-scale model and 0, 5, 10, and 15 deg for the 0.5-scale model were examined. Comparisons of results by heat-transfer gages, thermographic phosphor, and surface thermocouple heat-transfer measurement techniques are presented. Color photographs showing heat-transfer-rate contours measured by the thermographic phosphor tehcnique are included.
