Utilization of Advanced Shock Tube Facilities.

Abstract

The new shock tube laboratory is described including the details of two shock tunnels operating at elevated pressures. Preliminary results of heat transfer and pressure measurements at models of reentry bodies are presented. Application of advanced diagnostic techniques includes electron beam fluorescence for density measurements in reflected shock waves, X-ray density measurements, and an electron energy analyzer for low energy electron precursors.
