Fundamental Non-Equilibrium Experiments for Hypersonic Flight

Abstract

This report summarises the non-equilibrium and equilibrium spectral radiance data gathered in the Oxford T6 Stalker Tunnel while operating in Aluminium Shock Tube mode, from 1st July 2019 to 31st December 2022. Experiments were performed with two gas mixtures: synthetic air (20.78 O2 and 79.22 N2) and pure nitrogen. The data for each gas has been/ is to be presented at the Scitech Forum conference 2022 and 2024, respectively. The papers that have been submitted for which, form the main body of this report. Each paper includes a summary of conditions achieved, experimental and optical setups, and both spatially and spectrally resolved radiance profiles.
