Book Synopsis An Experimental Study of the Turbulent Wake Behind a Cone at Mach 5 by : William C. Ragsdale
Book excerpt: An experimental study of the turbulent wake behind a 9° adiabatic cone at Mach 5 has been carried out in the U.S. Naval Ordnance Laboratory Hypersonic Tunnel. Cone models with base diameters of 2 inches and 4 inches were mounted in the wind tunnel test section with fine wires. Pitot pressure, pressure on a small cone probe and total temperature were measured with probes mounted on a vertical traversing mechanism. The measured pressures and temperatures were used to calculate the Mach number, static pressure, static temperature, velocity and density in the wake.
