内容記述 | An investigation has been made at Mach numbers of 1.61 and 2.01 and over a range of free-stream Reynolds number per foot from about 1.2 x 10(exp 6) to 8.3 x 10(exp 6) to determine the pressure distributions and wave drags due to two-dimensional fabrication-type surface roughness. Ten types of surface roughness, including step, wave, crease, and swept configurations were investigated. The tests were made on an ogive cylinder of fineness ratio 12.2, the roughness elements covering the cylindrical portion of the model. The results indicate that wave drag is the major component of the drag due to roughness at supersonic speeds. The pressure distributions over the roughness elements were generally found to be in good agreement with linearized two-dimensional theory except for regions of the elements affected by boundary-layer separation and shock detachment. There was little or no effect of Reynolds number except on the pressures within the regions influenced by separation or shock detachment. Inasmuch as most of the roughness configurations were affected by flow separation and shock detachment, there was generally an effect of Reynolds number on the roughness wave drag. This wave drag decreased as the free-stream Reynolds number was decreased. |
