Abstract

SummaryExperimental and theoretical, small and large amplitude stability data are presented for a pointed and a 0.2 bluntness ratio, 10° semi-angle cone performing pitching oscillations in hypersonic flow at a Mach number of 6.85. Analysis identifies that large amplitude model motion time histories cannot be predicted from a knowledge of small amplitude oscillation stability derivatives data. At the Reynolds numbers of the experiments the pointed and blunted cone are subject to significant hypersonic flow viscous phenomena, which are proposed as the cause of the small to large amplitude stability prediction being invalid.
