Abstract
The results of an experimental study of heat transfer for a supersonic flow behind a backward-facing step are presented. Input flow Mach number was 2.2, Reynolds number was over 20 million when calculated with the use of the dynamic boundary layer length from the critical section to the exit section of the nozzle. The height of the step ranged from 8 to 14 mm. The thickness of dynamic boundary layer for plane model flow was about 6 mm in the region of nozzle exit section. The heat transfer coefficient and adiabatic wall temperature for the wake flow behind the step have been analysed in comparison with the plane model flow. The experiment was made with the use of chromel-kopel thermocouples with thermal compensation of cold junction, stagnation and static pressure meters, NI LabView powered programs of experimental automation. The graphs of the wall temperature, stagnation flow temperature, adiabatic wall temperature, the stagnation and static pressure, the distribution of the temperature recovery coefficient and the relative Stanton number along the model length are presented.
