An Advanced Free Flight Research Facility

Abstract

This report documents activities to install a tomographic density station into the Aeroballistic Research Facility (ARF). The objective of this research grant was to provide new insights into fluid dynamic research and design since this technology has the ability to characterize the spatial and temporal density profiles around the projectile/model. In this section, an overview of the current measurement capabilities ARF are discussed as stand alone techniques and we reintroduce the advantages of combining them are described.
