Book Synopsis Heat-transfer and Flow-field Tests of the North American Rockwell/ General Dynamics Convair Space Shuttle Configurations by : W. R. Martindale
Book excerpt: Aerothermodynamic tests of Phase B space shuttle configurations proposed by North American Rockwell/General Dynamics Convair were conducted at Mach number 8. Test conditions provided both Mach number and Reynolds number simulation for typical ascent and reentry trajectories. This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the major test results and also presents data comparisons with theoretical calculations. Specific areas covered are: ascent heating and shock interference, booster reentry heating and flow fields, and orbiter reentry including leeside heating, windward shock angles and flow fields, windward surface heating, and boundary-layer transition.
