Effects of Wall Temperature in High Enthalpy Rarefied Hypersonic Separated Flow

Abstract

This project will investigate the behavior of a high to moderate enthalpy rarefiedhypersonic flow in strong thermal non-equilibrium using a suite of non-intrusivetechniques such as high-speed IR, Resonantly Enhanced Shearing Interferometry(RESI), and PLIF along with surface heat flux and pressure measurements for twowall temperature conditions of 300K and 1500K. These experiments, together withstate of the art CFD and DSMC simulations, will provide information about theeffects of wall temperature on hypersonic separated flow that currently is verysparse.
