| description | Aerodynamic heating of hypersonic vehicles is one of the key challenges needed to be overcome in the pursuit of hypersonic ascent, re-entry, or sustained flight. Small, unavoidable imperfections are always present on the surface of aircraft in the form of steps, gaps, and protuberances. These can lead to high levels of localised heat flux augmentation, up to many times the undisturbed level. Flat plate experiments have been carried out in the Oxford High Density Tunnel with the aim of characterising the heating effects caused by small scale protuberances and steps in turbulent boundary layers. The current work presents experimental heat flux augmentation data, an assessment of existing heat flux correlations, and introduces new engineering level correlations to describe heat flux augmentation for a range of surface geometries. |
