Direct Numerical Simulation Of Hypersonic Turbulent Boundary Layers. Part 4. Effect Of High Enthalpy, L. (Lian) Duan, M. P. Martín 2011 Missouri Unviersity of Science and Technology

Direct Numerical Simulation Of Hypersonic Turbulent Boundary Layers. Part 4. Effect Of High Enthalpy, L. (Lian) Duan, M. P. Martín

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

In this paper we present direct numerical simulations (DNS) of hypersonic turbulent boundary layers to study high-enthalpy effects. We study high-and low-enthalpy conditions, which are representative of those in hypersonic flight and ground-based facilities, respectively. We find that high-enthalpy boundary layers closely resemble those at low enthalpy. Many of the scaling relations for low-enthalpy flows, such as van-Driest transformation for the mean velocity, Morkovin's scaling, and the modified strong Reynolds analogy hold or can be generalized for high-enthalpy flows by removing the calorically perfect-gas assumption. We propose a generalized form of the modified Crocco relation, which relates the mean temperature …

Performance Analysis Of A Variable Conductance Heat Pipe, Herron Arreola 2011 California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo

Performance Analysis Of A Variable Conductance Heat Pipe, Herron Arreola

Aerospace Engineering

This report examines the analysis of a donated Boeing variable conductance heat pipe with unknown performance characteristics. These characteristics were found through experimental means by utilizing 14 thermocouples attached to various locations on the heat pipe, the heaters and to the insulation. Although the maximum axial heat transport capability could not be determined due to the limited number of strip heaters available, the maximum radial heat flux capability of the heat pipe was found to be 2.46 W/in2. The experiment also revealed that increasing the input power decreased the burn out inclination angle and that using a coolant …
