| Description | The aerodynamic heat transfer to a hemispherical concave nose has been measured in free flight at Mach numbers from 3.5 to 6.6 with corresponding Reynolds numbers based on nose diameter from 7.4 x 10(exp 6) to 14 x 10(exp 6). Over the test Mach number range the heating on the cup nose, expressed as a ratio to the theoretical stagnation-point heating on a hemisphere nose of the same diameter, varied from 0.05 to 0.13 at the stagnation point of the cup, was approximately 0.1 at other locations within 40 deg of the stagnation point, and varied from 0.6 to 0.8 just inside the lip where the highest heating rates occurred. At a Mach number of 5 the total heat input integrated over the surface of the cup nose including the lip was 0.55 times the theoretical value for a hemisphere nose with laminar boundary layer and 0.76 times that for a flat face. The heating at the stagnation point was approximately 1/5 as great as steady-flow tunnel results. Extremely high heating rates at the stagnation point (on the order of 30 times the stagnation-point values of the present test), which have occurred in conjunction with unsteady oscillatory flow around cup noses in wind-tunnel tests at Mach and Reynolds numbers within the present test range, were not observed. |
