Heat transfer rates and pressure distributions on three basic shapes were investigated at a nominal Mach number of 8 and free-stream Reynolds numbers from 0.43 to 3.4 million per foot. The models were a 0.4-in. nose radius, spherically blunted, 15-deg half-angle cone; two flat plate models with 0. 10-in. and 0. 50-in. cylindrical blunting; and a modified leading-edge plate with auxiliary planes to produce changing body shape within the elliptic flow region. The tests produced data showing the effect on heat transfer rates of the interaction of the essentially inviscid, rotational flow behind the bow shock with the viscous boundary layer on the body. The results of pressure distribution tests show good agreement with theory. Heat transfer rates over the entire body were accurately predicted through the use of outer-edge boundary-layer conditions obtained from isentropic expansion from normal-shock stagnation conditions.

This book is a self-contained text for those students and readers interested in learning hypersonic flow and high-temperature gas dynamics. It assumes no prior familiarity with either subject on the part of the reader. If you have never studied hypersonic and/or high-temperature gas dynamics before, and if you have never worked extensively in the area, then this book is for you. On the other hand, if you have worked and/or are working in these areas, and you want a cohesive presentation of the fundamentals, a development of important theory and techniques, a discussion of the salient results with emphasis on the physical aspects, and a presentation of modern thinking in these areas, then this book is also for you. In other words, this book is designed for two roles: 1) as an effective classroom text that can be used with ease by the instructor, and understood with ease by the student; and 2) as a viable, professional working tool for engineers, scientists, and managers who have any contact in their jobs with hypersonic and/or high-temperature flow.
