Plasma Driven Hypersonic Testing

Abstract

The objective of the proposed effort is to develop a novel, compact experimental platform and associated diagnostics to quantitatively investigate a variety of hypersonic phenomena (at Mach numbers approaching 10) in a laboratory environment using high velocity plasma flows generated by a z-pinch pulsed discharge plasma generator.
