Abstract
Heat transfer measurements in the stagnation region of a spherically blunted cone are described. These experiments were conducted at a range of enthalpies relevant to re-entry speeds using the Australian National University free piston driven Shock Tunnel T3. The test gas was nitrogen. The results show that flow non-equilibrium in the shock layer in the stagnation region of the body strongly affects the heat transfer rates both at zero and non-zero incidence. The results are consistent with earlier theoretical calculations and similar measurements.
