Facilities and Instrumentation for Study of Turbulence-Chemistry Interactions in High-Speed, Compressible Flows
Abstract
The Hanson Research Group at Stanford University proposes to acquire new instrumentation toprovide transformative advances in the e xperimental study of compressible, non-equilibriumturbulent flows. Two, related groupings of instrumentation are proposed:1. Imagi ng test section and dump tank for flow studies in a dual-use shock/expansion tube2. Imaging instrumentation for expanded optical di agnostic capabilitiesThe acquisition of components to construct a new high-speed-flow facility and imaginginstrumentation is propo sed to support current and future ONR- and DoD-relevant research in bothcompressible flows and, more generally, in chemically react ing systems. The reinvented shock-tubefacility will provide game-changing in-house capabilities for the Hanson Labs development of laserand imaging diagnostics and their application to high-speed flow fields.Measurements obtained in the proposed facility and u sing the proposed imaging instrumentationwould be used to provide high-quality experimental benchmarks against which the next gener ationof theories and models for hypersonic applications could be validated, advancing a critical DoDresearch priority. These facil ities and diagnostics will also be used to advance parallel DoD-fundedresearch activities underway in the Hanson Lab, significantly broadening the potential impact of theinvestment.
