Experimental Study of Separation from the Base of a Cone at Supersonic Speeds.

Abstract

An experimental investigation of the base region of a 10 degree half-angle cone was conducted at Mach numbers of 1.75 to 4.0 and Reynolds numbers of 1,100,000 to 5,600,000. The following four types of tests were conducted during the investigation: (1) flow visualizatization studies including surface oil flow, sclieren and shadowgraph; (2) surface pressure measurements; (3) boundary layer surveys; (4) pitot traverses in the separated shear layer near the trailing edge corner.
