Hypervelocity Tunnel 9 Mach 10/14 Calibration

Abstract

This report documents the Tunnel 9 Mach 10/14 Calibration test program (WTR 1608) performed at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, White Oak, Maryland. This effort was sponsored by the National Aerospace Plane Joint Program Office (NASP JPO). Free stream flow field parameter distributions were obtained for both the Mach 10 and 14 nozzles spanning the Reynolds number range. A total of four Mach 10, and ten Mach 14 runs were performed during this test program. The test period was 7 to 22 May 1991. Results from this test entry were combined with previous test data in the final analysis. Data from the test reveal that high quality uniform flow exists and that deviations in core flow field parameters are comparable with the calibration data taken in the past.
