TEST SECTION CONDITIONS FOR THE TAILORED INTERFACE HYPERSONIC SHOCK TUNNEL

Abstract

The report contains calculated conditions expected in the test section of the Sheffield University Shock Tunnel. The driver gases used are either cold hydrogen or a mixture of hydrogen oxygen and helium ignited behind the primary diaphragm. Cold hydrogen 'Tailors' at a primary shock Mach number of 6 and the helium mixture used at about 12. The report therefore deals with the primary shock Mach number ranges from 5 to 9 and from 9 to 14 to cover both these cases. The air in the stagnation region is expanded to test section Mach numbers of 3, 4 and 5 depending on the nozzle attached.
