Two-Dimensional Turbulent Boundary Layer Separation on a Flat Plate with Ramp at Freestream Mach Numbers of 3.7and 6.3in Supersonic and Hypersonic Flow.

摘要

This investigation describes surface pressure distribution, heat transfer, and turbulent flow separation and reattachment on a flat plate with variable ramp angle at Mach numbers averaging 3.66 and 6.30. The freestream Reynold's number varied from 3.33 to 8.34 million per foot for the former case and from 5.243 million to 14.6 million per foot for the latter case. Ramp angle was varied from 0 to 35 degrees for these experiments. Stagnation temperatures averaged 849 degrees Rankine, with wall temperature assumed constant at 535 degrees Rankine for all tests. The knowledge of effective wedge angles and freestream conditions makes it possible to determine shocks so that conditions can be evaluated at all positions on the model.
