Abstract

In order to validate infrared thermography(IRT) heat transfer measurements on 3D printed wind tunnel models made of Formlabs Rigid 10K resin, measurements have been made on a hemisphere in the University of Arizona’s Mach 5 Ludweig tube(LT5). A correction for the translucency of Rigid 10K resin is implemented to determine accurate surface temperatures from the IRT measurements. The measurements are compared with measurements from 2 types of thin-film temperature sensors and the theoretical models of Fay & Riddell, and Lees. The measurements show good agreement indicating that the translucency correction allows for accurate heat transfer measurements.
