External tank laminar and rarefied aeroheatingA practical method has been developed for calculation of laminar and rarefied aerodynamic heating to the external tank of the Space Shuttle during the ascent phase of flight. A modification of laminar boundary theory is used as the basis for the heating relation. This relation is used in conjunction with a correlation for surface pressures to obtain undisturbed aerodynamic heating. Interference effects on the external tank due to the orbiter are correlated using the rarefaction parameter which was developed as part of the heating relation. The effects of rarefaction on the undisturbed and interference heating are illustrated with test data.
