Extract

This paper is concerned primarily with some of the practical difficulties encountered in connection with the prediction of kinetic heating temperatures. Attention will be concentrated upon methods for estimating temperatures and heat transfer rates for practical aircraft designed to fly at Mach numbers up to about five.

One factor common to all kinetic heating calculations is the variation of temperature through the thickness of the boundary layer, with consequent variation of viscosity. At Mach numbers above about 3, these temperature variations also lead to considerable variations of other properties of air—which are commonly assumed to remain constant—even in classical compressible flow aerodynamics. These factors complicate the aerodynamic equations.
