Measurements, Modeling and Control in Nonequilibrium in Shock-Boundary Layer Interaction

Abstract

The objectives of the proposed research include: i) direct spectroscopic measurement of chemical species and vibrational temperature at hypervelocity conditions, ii) modeling of associated key reaction pathways and thermal transitions, iii) reconciling discrepancies between simulations and experiments of shock-boundary layer interaction, and iv) investigating control of flow separation and peak heating by manipulation of the nonequilibrium region behind the re-attachment shock.
