Hypersonic Heat Transfer Test Program in the VKI Longshot Facility.
Abstract
A summary of test results is presented for local pressure and heat transfer distributions on a biconic body for a range of hypersonic Mach numbers, Reynolds number, and angle-of-attack. The model configuration approximated nosetip contours typical of low altitude turbulent ablated shapes. Instrumentation included a longitudinal row of ten pressure taps and, 180 degrees apart, a row of eleven smooth calorimeter discs. The tests were performed in the Longshot Facility of the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics. (Author)
