Description:
It is found from the comparisons that large longitudinal aerodynamic differences exist between wind tunnel predictions and flight measurements. Cold gas plume simulation underpredicted Shuttle base pressure. It is concluded that observed flight prediction increments are probably caused by several factors such as input error, independent variable errors, plume effects, and Reynolds number effects.
