Aero Acoustic Loads Associated with High-Beta Re-Entry Vehicles

Abstract

A detailed description is presented defining the wind tunnel test facility, test model and associated instrumentation and recording system. Wind tunnel conditions including test model local flow properties are defined along with a discussion of acoustic data obtained for the various flow regimes of interest (transition, fully turbulent, base and separated flow). Finally, test data in the form of acoustic intensity distributions along the vehicle and third octave pressure spectrums are presented.
