Multidimensional Assessment of Modeling Error in Typical High-Speed Wind-Tunnel Heat-Transfer Data-Reduction Schemes

摘要

This Note presented a purely analytical approach for assessing the modeling error introduced by standard wind-tunnel data-reduction techniques for thermocouple-instrumented models. The specific example considered was a scaled model of NASA's Orion Crew Module at wind-tunnel conditions in the Arnold Engineering Development Center's Hypervelocity Wind Tunnel no. 9. This work was motivated primarily by the desire to obtain highly accurate heat-transfer data for validation of computational predictive capability.
