Measurements of aerodynamic heat transfer were made at a number of stations along a cone-cylinder-flare model having a 15 degrees total-angle conical nose and a 10 degrees half-angle flare skirt. The maximum Mach number was 4.7, and local Reynolds numbers based on body length to a measurement station varied from 2 x 10 to the 6th power to 138 x 10 to the 6th power. Local Stanton numbers measured on the nose cone and flare showed fair agreement with laminar and turbulent theories, while the measurements on the cylinder were generally somewhat lower than theory. Experimental recovery factors, determined twice during the test, were unaccountably lower than theoretical values. Local transition Reynolds numbers, based on length from the nose tip, varied from 3 x 10 to the 6th power to 18 x 10 to the 6th power and were much lower than values previously obtained on the smoother nose of a similar model. At an angle of attack of about 9 degrees, the heat transfer on the flare increased to more than twie the theoretical turbulent value for zero angle of attack. (Author).

Aerodynamic-heat-transfer measurements have been made at a station on the 10 degree total angle conical nose of a rocket-propelled model at flight Mach numbers of 1.4 to 3.9. The corresponding values of local Reynolds number varied from 18,000,000 to 46,000,000 and the ratio of skin temperature to local static temperature varied from 1.2 to 2.4. The experimental data, reduced to Stanton number, were in fair agreement with values predicted by Van Driest's theory for heat transfer on a cone with turbulent flow from the nose tip.

Abstract: Aerodynamic heat-transfer measurements were at six stations on the 40-inch-long 10° total-angle conical nose of a rocket-propelled model which was flight tested at Mach numbers up to 5.9. The range of local Reynolds number was from 6.6 x 106 to 55.2 x 106. Laminar, transitional, and turbulent heat-transfer coefficients were measured, and, in general, the laminar and turbulent measurements were in good agreement with theory for cones. Experimental transition Reynolds numbers varied from less than 8.5 x 106 to 19.4 x 106. At a relatively constant ratio of wall temperature to local static temperature near 1.2, the transition Reynolds number increased from 9.2 x 106 to 19.4 x 106 as Mach number increased from 1.57 to 3.38. At Mach numbers near 3.7, the transition Reynolds number decreased as the skin temperature increased toward adiabatic wall temperatures.
