Pressure Distributions on Sphere-Cone Radomes in Uniform and Gradient Flows

摘要

A series of wind tunnel tests on two radome models, composed of truncated spheres on conical bases, in both uniform and two power law gradient flow conditions are described in the report. The data from these tests are presented in the form of actual pressure coefficients and as Fourier coefficients which have been best-fitted to the experimental data. Comparisons are presented to show the manner in which these pressure distributions vary from each other for the differing model and flow conditions. (Author)
