RE-ENTRY PHYSICS RESEARCH
Abstract
Studies were performed in the following areas: (a) two-dimensional and axisymmetric laminar wake stability, (b) mixing and chemical reactions in a nonequilibrium turbulent wake, (c) analyses of the properties of schlieren records of turbulent wakes, (d) analyses of molecular transition probabilities in high temperature gas kinetic collisions, (e) analyses of shock wave structure in a particle-gas dispersion, (f) analyses of the rate of burnup of particles behind a moving normal shock wave, (g) development of a powder injection shock tube facility, (h) experimental measurements of the rate of burnup of teflon particles behind a normal shock wave in argon, (i) absorption spectra in shock heated teflon/argon and teflon/nitrogen mixtures, (j) experimental measurements of the electrical conductivity of air and air plus teflon mixtures, and (k) analyses of optical scintillation data from re-entry vehicle tests.
