Report describes mostly computational study of hypersonic flow about sharp cone. Part of continuing effort to understand and predict complicated aerodynamic and heat-transfer phenomena in flows over forebodies of such hypersonic vehicles as Space Shuttle and proposed National Aerospace Plane. Focuses on transition from laminar to turbulent flow, with particular reference to heat-transfer predictions.
