Description:
An investigation was conducted regarding the surface heat transfer on the leeward side of the Space Shuttle, taking into account different free stream Reynolds numbers and angles of attack. Another investigation was concerned with the peak heating due to boundary layer transition and flow separation in the case of different Space Shuttle configurations. Criteria for vortex generation on the leeward flow were also examined along with the effect of transition on vortex generation. Attention was given to the leeward flowfield in the vortex flow region and the method of constructing an equivalent model for leeward flowfield analysis.
