Measurement and Mapping of Aerodynamic Heating in VKF Tunnel B with an Infrared Camera

Abstract

Heat-transfer data were obtained on a cone and a hemisphere-cylinder model using an infrared scanning camera. Data were obtained at Mach number 8 at free-stream Reynolds numbers ranging from 2,400,000 to 3,500,000 per foot and all tests were conducted at zero angle of attack. Runs with the cone were made with and without a boundary-layer trip to produce a variation in the heating distributions measured with the camera. Data compare favorably with theoretical heating levels and distributions.
