Abstract
The use of liquid crystal thermography was investigated as a technique for visualizing the flow over a NACA series 65 compressor blade. The demonstration of the feasibility of the technique was conducted in the low turbulence wind tunnel at the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School. Local heat transfer coefficients were obtained for Reynolds numbers varying from 100,000 to 600,000 with the angle of incidence of the blade varying from 0 degrees to 30 degrees.
