RESEARCH IN HYPERSONICS AND MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMICS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4030078

The hypersonic shock tunnel and the calibration shock tube are described, and their performance is discussed. The nonequilibrium character of expanding flows, hypersonic flow of low-density gas over cone models, and the electrical conductivity between electrodes in a moving plasma were studied experimentally. Nonequilibrium inviscid flows were also investigated theoretically. The studies are discussed in detail. (D.C.W.)
