INVESTIGATION OF THE PHENOMENA OF RAIN EROSION AT SUBSONIC AND SUPERSONIC SPEEDS

Abstract

A comprehensive state-of-the-art survey in the field of rain erosion protection, evaluation and simulation has been completed. Past efforts in all phases of rain erosion research, both subsonic and supersonic are reviewed. Descriptions of evaluation facilities now in operation and summaries of past materials research are also included. Recommendations for the improvement of laboratory simulation of high speed rain erosion protection techniques and the direction for new materials development are indicated.
