DTIC ADA118876: Maneuvering Aerothermal Technology (MAT) Program. Data Bibliography. Task 2

This report presents an extensive bibliography of experimental ground and flight test data primarily for strategic maneuvering reentry vehicles (MarV) . The overall objective of the MAT program is to assess and extend the current state-of-the-art of technology for predicting MaRV aerothermal performance for current and next generation vehicles in flight regimes characteristic of future mission requirements. The specific objective of this data search and review task was to: (1) assemble a compendium of MaRV aerothermodynamic data sources, (2) review data sources to identify data of specific benefit for validation of analytic/numerical codes (including the 3-D Parabolized Navier-Stokes (PNS) codes, the 3-D coupled inviscid-viscid codes, and the general empirical design codes), (3) critique data sources to identify technology data deficiencies, and (4) document results of prominent data sources by configuration/test condition/ data obtained.
