Description:
Eleven tests were carried out in DLR's high enthalpy tunnel in Goettingen (HEG), Germany, for reservoir conditions ranging from 10 to 23 MJ/kg and a free stream Mach number of approximately 10. A blunted cone model with a cylindrical afterbody (sting) was investigated. To obtain information on the influence of defined parameters on the body back flow, especially of the reacting gas, the heat transfer rate along the body contour was measured with fast response surface thermocouples on the forebody and sensitive thin film heat transfer gauges on the base and sting of the model. Flow visualization with a holographic interferometry system was provided. Tests are described, and a preliminary interpretation of the observed flow effects are given.
