Description:
A wind tunnel test was conducted on a flat plate at zero angle of attack with a rearward facing 2D cooling film injector nozzle. The freestream Mach number was 8 and the injector Mach number was 3. The freestream Reynolds number varied from 0.43 to 3.3 million per ft during the test, and the injector flow rate was such that the jet exit and freestream static pressures were matched. The analysis reported herein will focus on data obtained at a freestream Reynolds number of 0.85 million per ft. The data consists of heat-transfer measurements obtained upstream and downstream of the injector nozzle and flowfield surveys obtained downstream of the injector nozzle with a pitot, total temperature, hot-film anemometer and hot-wire anemometer probes. The flowfield surveys were made at stations 0.1 to 9 in. downstream of the injector nozzle from near the model surface to approximately 2 in above the model surface. The hot-film anemometer was used to define the fluctuations in the shear layer separating the flows. The hot-film results are integrated with conventional measurement techniques to obtain a more complete description of the complicated shear layer separating hypersonic and supersonic flows.
