Description:
Personnel from NASA Ames Research Center presented a paper on establishing a benchmark experimental data base for generic hypersonic vehicle shape for validation and/or calibration of advanced computational fluid dynamics computer codes. The need for this capability is based on a requirement for extensive hypersonic data to fully validate CFD codes to be used for NASP and other hypersonic vehicles. The use of wind tunnel models in the Ames 3.5-ft Hypersonic Wind Tunnel to obtain pertinent surface and flow-field data over a broad range of test conditions is described.
