RESEARCH ON ADVANCED GASDYNAMIC FACILITIES.

Abstract

Progress is reported on a research program which has the objective of investigating new techniques for producing hypervelocity flows in aerodynamic test facilities. One phase is a study utilizing high peak-power lasers and another phase is a study of the isentropic-compression tube. Both of these approaches are being considered as possible means of heating and accelerating test gases. (Author)
