Boundary Layer Measurement Program. Volume I. Boundary Layer Acoustic Monitor Development Characterization and Installation (PVM 12 and 13, STM-12)

Abstract

A Boundary Layer Acoustic Monitor (BLAM) was developed for determining boundary layer characteristics by sensing the external surface pressure fluctuation transmitted through to the inside surface of the heatshield by acoustical stress waves. Laboratory and wind tunnel tests were conducted to characterize and evaluate the BLAM. Flight hardware was developed and flight qualification tests were conducted for the PVM 12, PVM 13 and STM 12 flights. (Author)
