Abstract

The results of an experimental investigation and numerical simulation of heat exchange are given for sharp and blunt plates in a hypersonic air flow. The experiments were carried out in a Ludwig-type wind tunnel at hypersonic Mach numbers and a Reynolds number ReL which varied over the range from 0.24 ⋅ 106 to 1.31 ⋅ 106. The bluntness radius r was varied over the range from 0.008 mm (almost sharp plate) to 4 mm (the corresponding Reynolds numbers Rer from 15 to 4 ⋅ 104). The numerical simulation was carried out by solving the complete two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. The experimental data were correlated using the well-known viscous hypersonic interaction parameters.
