National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

An Investigation of Hypersonic Flow Separation and Control Characteristics.

AD611272

Publication Date	1965
Personal Author	Kaufman, L. G.; Meckler, L.; Hartofilis, S. A.; Weiss, D.
Page Count	2
Abstract	Hypersonic flow separation and its effects on control characteristics were investigated analytically and experimentally. Included are conclusions drawn from extensive test data for hypersonic flows over 'basic' geometries and over 'typical' flight configurations with aerodynamic controls. The basic flow geometries discussed include: separation on flat plates ahead of ramps (flaps); flows over sharp expansion corners; 'breakaway' separation; and fin plate interactions. Force data and limited pressure and heating rate distributions are presented for the flight configurations for various trailing edge flap settings. As a supplement to this work, available sources of pertinent hypersonic controls data are tabulated. (Author)
