RE-ENTRY PHYSICS RESEARCH

Abstract

Investigations were conducted in the following areas: mixing and chemical reactions in turbulent wakes; stability of two-dimensional and axi- symmetric laminar wakes; the influence of non-adiabatic collisions in the vibrational and dissociative relaxation of a high temperature gas; analyses of optical scintillation data from reentry field tests; and shock tube investigations of the spectroscopic and electromagnetic properties of ablation product/air mixtures. The individual research topics are described in the form of abstracts from completed reports, or progress reports on continuing activities.
