Pressure Recovery Measurements Across a Two-Dimensional Hypersonic Inlet with Variable Geometry

摘要

The report describes the experimental measurement of pressure recovery across a simulated combustion chamber duct of a two-dimensional hypersonic inlet with variable geometry. The model tested was a wedge type inlet which generated a single external shock wave. The program was conducted in the twenty-inch hypersonic wind tunnel. Testing was at a nominal free stream Mach number of 14 and free stream Reynolds number of 721,000 per foot. (Author)
