SCHLIEREN IMAGING AND INFRARED HEAT TRANSFER MEASUREMENTS ON A FLARED CONE AND CONE-CYLINDER-FLARE IN MACH-6 QUIET FLOW

<p dir="ltr">Pressure transducer, infrared heat transfer, and schlieren imaging data for a flared cone and cone-cylinder-flare in Mach 6 quiet flow are presented. Flared cone pressure transducer results show second-mode RMS values comparable to that found in prior experimental work. Second-mode frequency is found to linearly increase with increasing freestream unit Reynolds number, and frequency varies little between sensors for a given freestream unit Reynolds number. Turbulent intermittency begins to increase at a freestream unit Reynolds number 2x10<sup>6</sup>/m greater than the unit Reynolds number corresponding to peak second-mode RMS. peak RMS. High-speed schlieren imaging on the downstream section of the flared cone shows the second-mode disturbance following trends in power which correlate with PCB RMS. Infrared heat transfer results contain the azimuthal heating streak pattern observed for the flared cone in prior research, but the hot-cold-hot streak pattern is not seen due to limited model length. Streak heating occurs downstream of second-mode peak RMS over the freestream unit Reynolds number range of 6.4x10<sup>6</sup>/m to 10.4x10<sup>6</sup>/m. The heat transfer of streaks is found to vary significantly from streak to streak, while mean streak heating variation with freestream unit Reynolds number is small.</p><p dir="ltr">PCB results of the cone-cylinder-flare show intermittent turbulence at a freestream unit Reynolds number of 16.0x10<sup>6</sup>/m. Examination of shear-layer and second-mode instabilities show significant increases in RMS moving downstream along the flare and with increasing freestream unit Reynolds number. High-speed schlieren imaging of the shear-layer reattachment region on the flare show the presence of the shear-layer and second-mode instabilities when the model is configured with a sharp nose tip. The instabilities are not present with a blunt 5 mm radius nose tip. Heat transfer is observed to increase along the downstream portion of the flare. The sharp nose tip configuration has higher heat transfer rates than the 5 mm radius nose tip configuration.</p>
