Abstract:The experimental study (Schlieren photography) to characterize the flow behavior around a semi-cylindrical missile model having a single planar and wrap-around fin surface is performed inside a modified De-Laval nozzle test section capable of sustaining an airflow at Mach number ~1.7M. The images obtained from this schlieren technique is compared with flow field contour images of the similar missile models at similar flow conditions. The experiments are performed on a modified two-walled glassed section to ass… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
