Separated and Nonseparated Turbulent Flows about Axisymmetric Nozzle afterbodies. Part I. Detailed Surface Measurements
Abstract
Extensive static pressure data were obtained on a model consisting of a cone-ogive-cylinder forebody, two interchangeable circular arc afterbody boattails having length-to-forebody diameter ratios of 0.80 and 1.77, and two interchangeable solid exhaust plume simulators of cylindrical and contoured geometry. Boundary-layer pitot data and photographic records of model tufts and schlieren data were also obtained. Data were collected over a Mach number range of 0.60 to 1.30 and a unit Reynolds number range of 3.2 to 13.12 million per m (1 to 4 million per ft) at zero angle of attack and sideslip for the purpose of obtaining experimental data suitable for comparison with theoretical predictions. Data are presented for two model configurations with cylindrical solid plume simulators at three flow conditions: (1) length-to-diameter ratio = 1.77 boattail at Mach number number 0.80 and Reynolds number 8.2 million per m for high subsonic, unseparated flow; (2) length-to-diameter ratio = 0.80 boattail at Mach number 0.60 and unit Reynolds number 8.2 million per m for subsonic, separated flow; and (3) length-to-diameter ratio = 0.80 boattail at Mach number 0.95 and unit Reynolds number 8.2 million per m for transonic, separated flow with boundary-layer-shock interaction.
