Flow Field and Surface Pressure Measurements in the Fully Merged and Transition Flow Regimes on a Cooled Sharp Flat Plate

摘要

The experimental survey of the flow field near the leading edge of a cooled, sharp flat plate parallel to a hypersonic stream of low density is discussed. Results consisting of impact pressure and hot-wire anemometer profiles plus surface pressures are analyzed and compared to recent theoretical results. Data are presented for viscous interaction parameters as high as 2.0. (Author)
