Heat Transfer and Pressure Measurements on a Concave Biconic Model with Flattened Nosetip.

Abstract

Heat transfer and pressure measurements have been measured on a concave biconic configuration with a flattened nosetip in the von Karman Institute Longshot free piston tunnel at M = 15 and 20. The test flow parameters achieved closely simulated re-entry aerodynamic conditions. Information derived from the measurements and also from schlieren photographs enabled statements to be made on the effect of Mach number, Reynold number, surface roughness and flow incidence on the flow over the model.
