Results of oil flow visualization tests of an 0.010-scale model (52-OT) of the space shuttle orbiter-tank mated and orbiter configurations in the AEDC VKF tunnel B (IA17B)

An 0.010-scale model of the space shuttle (orbiter-tank mated and orbiter configurations) was tested in the AEDC VKF Tunnel B to investigate aerodynamic flow patterns. The tests utilized oil flow techniques to visualize the flow patterns. Tunnel free stream Mach number was 7.95 and nominal unit Reynolds number was 3.7 million per foot. Model angle of attack was varied from -5 deg through 10 deg and angle of sideslip was 0 deg and 2 deg. Photographs of resulting oil flow patterns are presented.

Airloads investigation of an 0.030-scale model of the space shuttle vehicle 140A/B launch configuration (model 47-OTS) in the arc 11-foot unitary plan wind tunnel for Mach range 0.6 to 1.4 (IA14A), Volume 2

Results of tests conducted on an 0.030-scale launch configuration model of the space shuttle vehicle 140A/B in the NASA/ARC 11-foot unitary plan wind tunnel are presented. Aerodynamic loads data were obtained at Mach numbers from 0.6 to 1.4. Surface pressure distributions were obtained simultaneously with six-component stability and control force data on the complete launch configuration. The configuration consisted of the orbiter, an external tank, two solid rocket boosters, and associated intercomponent attach hardware. Angles of attack and sideslip from -10 degrees to +10 degrees were investigated.

Wind tunnel tests of an 0.019-scale space shuttle integrated vehicle -2A configuration (model 14-OTS) in the NASA Ames 8 by 7 foot unitary wind tunnel (IA12C), volume 1

The purpose of the test was to determine the effects of cold jet gas plumes on (1) the integrated vehicle longitudinal and lateral-directional force data, (2) exposed wing hinge moment, (3) wing pressure distributions, (4) orbiter MPS external pressure distributions, and (5) model base pressure. The similarity between solid and gaseous plumes was investigated, and fluorescent oil flow visualization studies were conducted.
