The report describes the Grumman Research Department's technique for achieving Reynolds numbers higher than those achievable by any other known technique, and outlines experiments which can be used to increase the confidence level when extrapolating sub-scale plume impingement heating to full-scale flight conditions. Initial experiments established the feasibility of using a backward-running detonation wave to produce the correct enthalpy and chemistry of the simulated combustion chamber gases. Low pressure tests (up to 1500 psi) are summarized which measured heating on simulated impingement surfaces from one and two engines. (Author)
