An Evaluation of the Design, and A Theoretical Study of the Simulation Capabilty of an Eight-Megawatt Arc-Heated Hypersonic Wind Tunnel Facility, UARI Research Report No. 15

The capabilities and limitations of an arc heated blowdown wind tunnel to simulate flow parameters of a re-entering ICBM are investigated theoretically. Particular numerical examples apply to the eight-megawatt tunnel of the Physical Sciences Laboratory, U. S. Army Missile Command, Redstone Arsenal,...
