Journal ArticleDOI
Liquid Crystal Thermography for Heat Transfer Measurement in Hypersonic Flows: A Review
G. T. Roberts,R. A. East +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors defined a substrate specific heat capacity, which is defined as the capacity of a substrate to transfer heat from a liquid crystal pitch of helical structure to a substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of predictions and experimental data for hypersonic pitching motion stability
R. A. East,G. R. Hutt +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present experimental and theoretical data concerning the static and dynamic pitching stability of pointed and blunted 10 deg semiangle cones and a double-flared hyperballistic shape.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical Techniques for Model Position Measurement in Dynamic Wind Tunnel Testing
G R Hutt,R. A. East +1 more
TL;DR: Techniques are described which relate to studies undertaken in intermittent hypersonic wind tunnels in which flow durations vary between 20 ms and 900 ms and the flo~ speed is approximately seven times the speed of sound.
Journal ArticleDOI
Static and dynamic pitch stability of a blunted cone with forward facing aerodynamic spike in hypersonic flow
G. R. Hutt,R. A. East +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of a forward facing aerodynamic spike on the pitch stability of a blunted cone in hypersonic flow were investigated and the effect of spike length and angle of attack variations on stability derivatives were described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of Schiieren Photography to the Investigation of Large Amplitude Oscillatory Motions of Shapes Travelling at Flow Mach Number M = 6.85
G. R. Hutt,R. A. East +1 more
TL;DR: The Schiieren technique has been used to visualize the strong density gradient that exists across the shock front and a comparison made between the shock wave-forms of a model undergoing large amplitude motions with those of the model held fixed at different angles of attack as discussed by the authors.
