The U. S. Naval Ordnance Laboratory Hypersonic Tunnel

摘要

The report describes the aerodynamic capability and physical plant installation of the U. S. Naval Ordnance Laboratory's Hypersonic Tunnel. The tunnel is a high pressure blowdown facility, using air as the working gas, operating at Mach numbers 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 with test section Reynolds Number from 3000 thousand to 50 million per foot. The stagnation pressure may be varied between 5 and 150 atmospheres with stagnation temperatures sufficient to prevent equilibrium condensation in the test section. (Author)
