Abstract
The present paper compares measured and calculated heat transfer parameters for a small-size slot supersonic nozzle. Heat transfer coefficient and temperature recovery factor were examined under conditions of partial laminarization of boundary layer caused by moderate flow acceleration and low Reynolds numbers. The transient heat transfer method was implemented for estimation of these values for the nozzle subsonic and supersonic parts. Maximum values of flow acceleration parameter K lied in the range 1.3 … 2.75∙10−6. Experimentally measured value was normalized to the developed turbulent boundary layer heat transfer coefficient and reached St/StRex = 0.5–0.7 and indicated partial laminarization phenomenon. It was shown that the temperature recovery factor hasn't been affected by the flow acceleration. The results are compared to numerical heat transfer predictions using sst, γ-sst and γ-Reθ-sst turbulence models. Numerical calculations and experimental data were found to be in reasonably good agreement for low acceleration level with K less than 0.75∙10−6. Nevertheless, γ-sst turbulence model made slightly conservative estimation whereas in contrast γ-Reθ-sst model overestimates quantities for the moderate flow acceleration conditions.
