Title: Aerodynamic characteristics of MSFC model 454 of the 142 inch solid rocket booster tested in the LeRC 10 foot SWT at Mach numbers of 2.0 and 2.7 (SA6F)
Abstract:A 2.112 percent scale Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) was tested in a ten foot, supersonic wind tunnel. The test Mach numbers were 2.0 and 2.7. Test angles of attack were from minus 5 degrees...A 2.112 percent scale Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) was tested in a ten foot, supersonic wind tunnel. The test Mach numbers were 2.0 and 2.7. Test angles of attack were from minus 5 degrees to plus 185 degrees. The Reynolds numbers ranged from 0.514 to 2.81 million per foot. Test roll angles were 0, 22.5, 45, 90, and 135 degrees. The following configurations were tested: (1) SRB without external protuberances, (2) SRB with an electrical tunnel and a thrust attachment structure, (3) SRB with two engine shroud strakes, (4) SRB with eight engine shroud strakes, and (5) SRB with an electrical tunnel, thrust attachment structure, eight engine shroud strakes, and separation motors.Read More
