The Acoustics of High Speed Flow Over a Blunt Body with a Forward-Facing Cavity

Friday, November 17, 1995 4:00 p.m. William A. Engblom Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics Department University of Texas at Austin There is substantial interest in increasing the flight speed of kinetic energy anti-armor penetrators. Unfortunately, in the range of interest (Mach 6 to 12), it is expected that the aerodynamic heating of nose regions of…
