An experimental study on reduction of aerodynamic heating due to opposing jet in supersonic flow has been conducted. Experiments are conducted by using a conventional blowdown type wind tunnel. A hemisphere model is installed into supersonic free stream of Mach number of 4 and coolant gas is injected through a sonic nozzle at the top of the model. Significant decrease of surface heat flux distribution is observed and opposing jet is proved to be quite effective on the reduction of aerodynamic heating at the nose region of the blunt body. The effect of total pressure ratio of opposing jet to the free stream on the reduction of aerodynamic heating is also investigated.
