Download or read book A Survey of Transition Research at AEDC written by Jack D. Whitfield and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a survey of experimental research on transition Reynolds numbers conducted in a large number of ground test facilities. Facilities surveyed included primary wind tunnels used for aerodynamic testing at subsonic, transonic, supersonic, and hypersonic conditions. Measurements have been made on cones and planar bodies, flat plates and hollow cylinders. This report traces the work using cones, which has been more extensive. The primary motivation for this research spanning nearly 20 years has been to verify the adequacy of the facilities to simulate flight conditions. This necessarily entailed the study of free-stream disturbances in wind tunnels and the role these disturbances play in altering transition Reynolds number which must be considered when scaling Reynolds-number-sensitive data. Results presented include current experimental efforts as recent as September 1976. In addition to the cited references, a bibliography of relevant publications from AEDC has been included.

Download or read book Heat Transfer Tests on the Rockwell International Space Shuttle Orbiter with and Without Simulated Protuberances written by L. D. Carter and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aerothermodynamic tests on the forward half of the Rockwell International Space Shuttle Orbiter Configuration 140C were conducted at Mach number 8. The phase-change paint and thin-skin thermocouple techniques were used to determine the aerodynamic heating rates on the Orbiter models during simulated atmospheric reentry. Smooth 0.04-scale models and models with scaled protuberances and indentations which simulated the windshields, cargo bay door hinges, vents, and thruster nozzles were tested over an angle-of-attack range from 20 to 45 deg at yaw angles from -5 to 5 deg and at Reynolds numbers, based on the total Orbiter scaled length, from 2.15 to 15.9 million. Comparisons of the model heat-transfer rates obtained with a smooth surface and with scaled protuberances are presented.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aerothermodynamic transition tests on a model of the forward half of the Rockwell International Space Shuttle Orbiter Configuration 140C were conducted at Mach Number 8. Phase-change paint was used to determine the aerodynamic heating rates on the windward side of Orbiter models during simulated atmospheric reentry. The majority of the data was obtained using spherical trip elements of varying sizes at three different axial stations along the model to determine the effect of roughness size and location on boundary- layer transition. Additional data were taken with models which had scale indentations that simulated external tank attachment rings, nose wheel well doors, and a surface insulation interface gap. Data were taken over an angle-of-attack range from 20 to 40 deg at free-stream Reynolds numbers, based on the total Orbiter scaled length, from 3.2 to 16.1 million. Typical heat-transfer data were presented to illustrate boundary-layer transition locations and sensitivities to test variables.
Download or read book Heat Transfer Tests of Two Space Shuttle Orbiter Configurations at Mach Number 8 written by W. R. Martindale and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heat transfer tests were conducted on two Space Shuttle configurations at Mach number 8 to investigate the effects of nose geometry on windward and leeward heating and boundary layer transition. Free-stream Reynolds number based on model length was varied from 1.5 to 7.5 million at angles of attack from 20 to 50 deg. Windward centerline heating rates were in general agreement with calculated values except for laminar rates dowstream of the wing/body junction. Differences in the location of the beginning of transition and the length of the transition zone were observed for the two configurations, but it was not clear whether variation in nose shape per se or the abrupt cross-sectional change from the nose to the aft fuselage and wing was the controlling factor.

Download or read book An Axisymmetric Analog Two Layer Convective Heating Procedure with Application to the Evaluation of Space Shuttle Orbiter Wing Leading Edge and Windward Surface Heating written by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A numerical procedure for predicting the convective heating rate of hypersonic reentry vehicles is described. The procedure, which is based on the axisymmetric analog, consists of obtaining the three-dimensional inviscid flowfield solution; then the surface streamlines and metrics are calculated using the inviscid velocity components on the surface; finally, an axisymmetric boundary layer code or approximate convective heating equations are used to evaluate heating rates. This approach yields heating predictions to general three-dimensional body shapes. The procedure has been applied to the prediction of the wing leading edge heating to the Space Shuttle Orbiter. The numerical results are compared with the results of heat transfer testing (OH66) of an 0.025 scale model of the Space Shuttle Orbiter configuration in the Calspan Hypersonic Shock Tunnel (HST) at Mach 10 and angles of attack of 30 and 40 degrees. Comparisons with STS-5 flight data at Mach 9.15 and angle of attack of 37.4 degrees and STS-2 flight data at Mach 12.86 and angle of attack of 39.7 degrees are also given. Wang, K. C.
