Boundary Layer Measurements on Slender Blunt Cones at Free-Stream Mach Number 8

Abstract

Boundary layer profiles and surface conditions were measured on a slender cone with various nose bluntnesses with a laminar boundary layer and with the wall temperature in a state of equilibrium. The measurements were made at a free-stream Mach number of 8 for unit Reynolds numbers from 1.3 to 3.5 million per foot. Surveys were made using a hot-wire anemometer and total temperature and pressure probes. Descriptions of the test apparatus, procedures, and techniques used are given in this report.
