Abstract

A sharp wedge expansion flap was tested in the von Kámán Institute Long-shot tunnel at Mach 16 and data on the wall pressure and heat transfer were obtained. Pitot pressure measurements in the boundary layer just ahead of the expansion flap were also made. The surface data are compared with predictions from a characteristics solution for the boundary-layer expansion and from a simple heat-transfer theory.
