PRESSURE AND HEAT FLUX RESULTS FROM THE SPACE SHUTTLE/EXTERNAL FUEL TANK INTERACTION TEST AT MACH NUMBERS 16 AND 19 (FII10)

摘要

Heat trimester tastes and pressures were measured of a 0.0175-scale model of the Space Simile External Tank (ET), model MCRO200. Tests were emailed with the ET model separately and while mated with a 0.0175-seale model of the orbiter, model 21-OT(Grumman). The tests were conducted in the AEDC-VRF Hypervelocity Wind Tunnel (F) at Mach numbers 16 and10. The primary data consisted of the interaction heating rates experienced by the ET while mated with the orbiter in the flight configuration. Data were taken for a range of Reynolds numbers from 0.05*10 under laminar flow conditions.
