HEAT TRANSFER TESTS OF A 0.0175-SCALE SPACE SHUTTLE ORBITER MODEL (29-0) TO DETERMINE THE EFFECT OF SURFACE TEMPERATURE ON BOUNDARY LAYER TRANSITION AT MACH 8.0 IN THE AEDC VKF TUNNEL B (TEST OH4A)

摘要

Test 0H4A was conducted 1n the Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC) von Karman GAS Dynamics Facility (VKF) Tunnel B. It consisted of heat transfer measurements on a 0.0175-scale model of the Space Shuttle Orbiter with the purpose of determining the effect of wall temperature on the point of boundary layer transition. The test was conducted at Hach 8 over a range of Reynolds numbers from 1.0 to 3.7 x 10 per foot.
