SUMMARY
• . . ,/_/_F5 mic /An expemmental investigation has been made to determine the aerodyna
characteristics of several cones at Mach numbers from 0.5 to 5' 0 and to estab!ish ]
the effects of bluntness. The results of the investigation show that the abrupt changes /
in aerodynamic parameters in the transonic region are closely related to the devel- /
opment of the shock wave pattern. Those parameters most affected were the normal /
force coefficient slope and the forebody drag coefficient. The center of pressure, ]on the other hand, remained relatively stationary for cones with moderate half- . . Iangles, except at very near sonic Mach number. The effects of bluntness were mini_
real at Mach numbers smaller than those required for shock attachment on pointed /
cones. At higher Mach numbers, bluntness effects were sizeable for the smaller \cone half-angles, but negligible for the larger ones. In every case, increases in \bluntness as well as cone angle increased the downstream movement of, the, center \
of pressure. _)/.c. //y'/ _..)
INTRODUCTION
The inadequacy of theory in predicting the aerodynamic characteristics
of blunted cones accurately creates a need for a thorough experimental investi-
gation. Such a study has been especially desirable in the transonic Mach number
range where no practical theory applies.
This experimental program was initiated to satisfy this need and to provide
designers of blunted-cone vehicles with data from a wide range of parametric varia-tions. The normal force coefficient slopes, center of pressure locations, and fore-
body drag coefficients were determined for twelve cones over a Mach number rangefrom 0.5 to 5.0. The models used in the investigation were grouped into four
families of different cone angles, each having three different nose bluntness ratios.
Eight models with two additional bluntness ratios were tested up to M= 2.0 [i].From this wide range of geometric parameters, the effects of bluntness and cone
angle could be deduced in addition to those of Mach number. The tests were con-ducted at the NASA, Marshall Space Flight Center, i4 x 14-inch trisonic and the
7 x 7-inch supersonic wind tunnels.
MODELSANDAPPARATUS
The investigation was conducted in three series of tests. Transonic and super-sonic tests were run in the trisonic wind tunnel over Mach number ranges from 0.47
to i. 93 and 2.74 to 4.96, respectively. To establish the continuity and validity of the
data, a supersonic test covering the Mach range from i. 58 to 4. 39 was conducted in the7 x 7-inch supersonic wind tunnel. The characteristic air properties during operation
of both facilities are given in Table 1.

Twelve cone models representing four families of different cone half-angles of
10, i3.32, 25, and 50 degrees were tested at all of the above Maeh number ranges.The three cones within each family had bluntness ratios of 0, 0.4, and 0.8;i. e., one
was pointed, while the other two were trtfmcated and tipped with spherical segments.
Eight models, representing two additional bluntness ratios (d/D = 0.2 and 0.6) foreach of the cone families, were tested in only the Mach number range from 0.43 to
1.93.[ 1 ] The geometric characteristics of the models and nomenclature are given in
Figure i, and the configurations tested are represented in the diagrams of Figure 2.Some representative Schlieren pictures of the test models are shown in Figure 3 forvarious Mach numbers.
All models were mounted on a sting which contained a system of interchangeable
strain gauge beams as parts of a three:component balance. Because of limitationson the model size, the balance system used in the 7 x 7-inch tunnel test was housedwithin a faired portion of the sting aft of the model base. The balance assembly of
the 14 x 14-inch tunnel, however, could be fitted conventionally to the forward end of
the sting projecting into the models. Composition X-ray pictures of both balance
systems are shown in Figures 4 and 5.
ACCURACYOFDATA
All force and base pressure measurements were taken over the angle of attackrange from approximately -4 ° to i0 ° , which was traversed automatically in both tunnelfacilities. Because of the sting effects on base pressures, the accuracy of the total
drag is somewhat uncertain. By subtracting the base drag, which was determined froma base pressure measurement, the invalid component is removed. The resulting fore
drag, which consists of wave drag and skin friction drag, should be accurate at thedesignated Reynolds numbers.
Data reduction of the strain gauge and base pressure readings were achieved
through digitizing the analog signals, punching values into data cards, and finally
processing the card data into coefficient form by computer.
The accuracy of the data, estimated by several means, takes into considera-
tion the following:
a. Data scatter
b. Repeatability of a given test point
c. Agreement of data measured by several different strain gaugesd. Level of accuracy of previous tests
e. Continuity between the data from the two different test facilities.
Based on these indications, the estimated accuracy of the faired data is
CP _ ±0 02, CN=±0.04, CDf= ±0.01.D "
RESULTSANDDISCUSSION
The results of the test are presented in a manner to enable the study of thevariation of normal force coefficient slope, center of pressure, and forebody dragcoefficient with Mach number for various cone configurations and also to show the
effects of cone half-angle (_) and bluntness (d/D). The basic data variations with
Mach number are given in Figures 7 through 15 for various cone half-angles and
are grouped according to bluntness. To provide data for the lower end of the Machnumber spectrum, the results of the transonic test published earlier [ 1] are in-cluded. Results from various other sources [2,3] are also incorporated when
possible. The interpolated values for various intermediate cone half-angles, repre-
sented by dashed lines, are also indicated in the above figures. By presenting cross-plots of the aerodynamic characteristics versus cone half-angles at various Mach
numbers {Figures t6 through 37), the effects of cone angle and bluntness can bestudied directly. Here again the data from other sources, notably from Reference
3, provided complementing key points.
NormalForceCoefficient Slope
With a few exceptions, the linearity of normal force coefficient with angle of
attack was maintained to approximately ±4 degrees. The normal force coefficient
slopes at zero angle of attack are presented in Figures 7 through 9 for three degreesof bluntness. For zero bluntness cones, the values of normal force coefficient
slope remain relatively constant once the local flow becomes supersonic, and the
levels agree well with hypersonic Newton±an theory, even for Mach numbers lessthan 5.0. For blunted cones, however, the values of normal force coefficients
slope for moderate cone half-angles decline at the beginning of the supersonic Math
number range, but tend to remain constant or increase slightly at the end of the
test Mach number range. An increase in C N values with still higher Mach numberswould be necessary to obtain agreement withhypersonic Newton±an values.
For Mach numbers smaller than M (minimum Mach number for shock
attachment for pointed cone) , no significanSt changes in CN_ were observed as thebluntness was increased from 0 to 0.4. For cones up to E = 30° , bluntness ratios
4
Of 0.8, however, produced very pronounced CNa peaks which occurred approximately: at those Mach numbers identified with shock a_tachment on pointed cones.
The cross-plots of. C._ versus cone half-angles at various Mach numbers
are shown m Figures 16 through 23. In general, bluntness effects were very small
for subsonic Mach numbers, but became sizeable at M > Ms for all cone half-angles,except _ = 50° .
Centerof Pressure
Since both the normal force coefficient and pitching moment coefficient were
generally linear up to +4° angle of attack, the variation of the center of pressure with
angle of attack was nearly negligible in that range. The values of the cone centers ofpressure at zero angles of attack are presented in Figures 10 through 12 for bluntness
ratios 0, 0.4, and 0.8. The least change of center of pressure with Mach number wasexhibited by the c = 25° cone family. For all others, a downstream or upstream move-
ment of the center of pressure was observed in the sonic Mach number region with asubsequent stabilization beginning at the transition of local flow from transonic to
supersonic speeds.
Figures 24 through 30 show center of pressure locations versus cone half-
angles at various Mach numbers. Up through free stream transonic Mach numbers,the effect of bluntness was greatest for small cone half-angles and decreased gradually
with increasing cone angle. While a bluntness increase from 0 to 0.8 at Mach 0.68caused the center of pressure of the _ = i0 ° cone family to move approximately
0.55 diameters downstream, the same bluntness increase on the E = 25° cones resulted
in a downstream CP/D movement of only 0.25 diameters.
For higher Mach numbers, the bluntness effect is largest for _ _ 10° ; thenit reaches a minimum for cone half angles of about 40 ° , and tends to increase again for
e = 50 ° . The agreement at M = 4. 0 of the center of pressure values with the relation-ship,
XCp L- [1-2/3 sec 2 e] ; oz_=0,D D
is good for all pointed cones, except those of _ = 50 ° . This equation assumes con-
stant pressure along a surface element, which is the case for cones in supersonic
flow. Reference 4 substantiates that the local flow regime for cones of _ = 50° isstill transonic up to a freestream Maeh number of 4.0.
For cones with e > 35 ° , the centers of pressure are located downstream of the
base under all conditions. Because the center of pressure is defined as the ratio
of pitching moment to the normal force, unsymmetrical axial force distribution at
5
angles of attack generates a stabilizing couple of sufficient magnitude to shift thecenter of pressure off the body.
ForebodyDragCoefficents
The zero angle of attack drag coefficients presented in this report contain
only forebody wave drag and skin friction coefficients.
Figures 13 through 15 show the variation of the forebody drag coefficientwith Mach number for three degrees of bluntness. The initial drag rise is nearlyidentical for all bluntness ratios up to the shock attachment Mach numbers for
: a given cone half-angle. For cones with bluntness ratios up to 0.4, the maximum
drag coefficients for a given cone occur at M , while peak values for largersbluntness ratios occur at higher Mach numbers. For comparison, the hypersonic
Newtonian drag values are included which were determined from
CDo= (t+sin 2 _) + 2 sin 2 ¢ - .
The first term in this equation represents the drag resulting from the sphericalsegment; the second term is the drag due to the truncated remainder of the cone.
In general, the effects of bluntness on the forebody drag coefficient of a
given cone are negligible for M < 1V[s , but are large at M > Ms and small conehalf-angles (see Figures 31 through 37). For cone half-angles of _ = 40 ° and
larger, the bluntness effects are almost negligible at all Mach numbers.
Abrupt variations of the data with Mach number occur for nearly all cones
regardless of bluntness. These phenomena are closely related to the mechanismof the shock wave development in the transonic region. This process, illustrated
in the diagrams of Figure 6 for pointed cones, is qualitatively described as follows:
As the free stream Mach number increases from subsonic values, a sonic
line forms at the shoulder of the cone, together with a main shock (nearly
normal) at the beginning of the wake. This marks the beginning of thetransonic range, which encompasses all free stream Mach numbers fromthe instant the'highest local Mach number reaches unity. [5] As Mach
number increases, the main shock grows and tends to move downstream,while at the same time a second shock wave approaches the cone vertexin the stream direction. Finally, this bow wave, whose shape and stand-
off distance depend on the geometry of the cone and the Mach numberattaches while retaining some of its curvature. The conditions behind the
shock are subsonic; this means that the downstream flow field (especially
6
at the shoulder) influences the entire shock. However, with further increase in
Mach number, a value is reached for which conditions behind the shock cease to
be subsonic. The shock angle decreases while the shock becomes straight.
Under the latter circumstances, the flow about the cone is genuinely super-
sonic, and therefore, the shock is independent of the downstream flow field.
Further increases in Mach number thus affect the data very little.
The span of transonic Mach numbers for pointed cones varies according to the
cone geometry; thus, for _ "-- i0 ° the transonic regime extends from about M = 0.9
to M= 1.15, while for c =50 ° it may range from M= 0.7to M=4.0 or higher.
Consequently, considerable data changes are seen in these ranges.
The flow field development around blunted cones is considerably more complex.
On small half-angle cones, "the expansion around the rounded tip causes local supersonic
flow at free stream M < 1. 0. This supersonic flow is then altered by shocking back to
subsonic flow. At high Mach numbers with the 50 ° cone at a bluntness of 0.8, subsonic
flow undoubtedly exists all the way to the base because of the strong normal shock.
Thus, shock and flow development around blunted cones is not nearly so straightforward.
CONCLUSIONS
From the results of the investigation to determine the aerodynamic character-istics of blunted cones, the following general conclusions are formed.
i. The effect of bluntness on the forebody drag coefficient is small for all
cones at Mach numbers less than those required for shock attachment
on pointed cones. This is generally true for the normal force coefficient
slope, except at small cone half-angles and extreme bluntness.
2. For Mach numbers higher than Ms, the forebody drag coefficient andthe normal force coefficient slope are greatly inflaenced by bluntness.
3. For cones with half-angles less than 30 ° , the center-of-pressure loca-
tions are more sensitive to bluntness than to Mach number changes.For cones with e > 35 ° , the centers of pressure are located down-
stream of the base under all conditions and are influenced by changesin Mach number as well as bluntness.
4. With the exception of normal force coefficient slopes for the blunted
cones, the aerodynamic parameters for supersonic Mach numbers are,
in most cases, closely approximated by Newtonian theory for hypersonicflow.

APPENDIX
To allow quick estimation of the basic aerodynamic characteristics by the
Hypersonic Newtonian Impact Theory (Ref. 6) , the necessary relationships of cone
geometry parameters are presented in Figures A-i and A-2. The charts of theoretical
normal force coefficient slopes, center of pressure locations, and wave drag coefficients
are given in Figures A-3 through A-5
