WebCaltech T5 hypervelocity shock tunnel and the Caltech Mach 4 Ludwieg tube. The tests used 5-degree half-angle cones (at zero angle of attack) equipped near the front of the cone with an injector consisting of either discrete holes or a porous section. Gaseous CO2, argon (Ar) and air were injected into the boundary layer and the effect on ... WebWe report on measurements of freestream temperature and nitric oxide (NO) collected in the Caltech T5 reflected shock tunnel facility. Quantum cascade lasers (QCL), emitting mid-infrared light resonant with fundamental rovibrational NO transitions, were directed through the supersonic (Mach ~5) flow immediately downstream of the nozzle exit plane.

WebMar 30, 2024 · Abstract. We report on spectroscopic measurements of nitric oxide (NO) rotational and vibrational temperatures and concentration in the hypersonic flow fields … WebJan 19, 2024 · Measurements obtained at the Caltech T5 reflected shock tunnel have been used to validate this method for two nominally 8 MJ/kg and two nominally 16 MJ/kg stagnation enthalpy shots. The measured freestream in T5 was found to be unique where there is only one reservoir state which reproduces any given measured data point. WebThe potential for hypervelocity boundary layer stabilization was investigated using the concept of damping Macks second mode disturbances by vibrational relaxation of carbon dioxide CO2 within the boundary layer. Experiments were carried out in the Caltech T5 hypervelocity shock tunnel and the Caltech Mach 4 Ludwieg tube. The tests used 5 … gene lavanchy fired
