Development of Advanced Off-Surface Flow and Thermodynamic Measurements in Hypersonic Environments
Abstract
The development of reliable hypersonic flight vehicles will rely on an improved understanding of several critical aero-aerothermodynamic processes such as boundary layer growth and transition, shock-boundary layer interaction, and fluid-thermal-structure interactions. However, hypersonic flights and in-flight testing are very expensive and thus, most of the existing knowledge base will continue to come from ground test facilities, which are often under-characterized due to the challenging test conditions. Hence there is a need to develop robust and accurate measurement approaches for high-speed, compressible flows with considerations for ground test facility implementation.
