Development of a Pilot Model of Hypersonic Rarefied Wind-Tunnel
A pilot model of the hypersonic rarefied wind-tunnel (HRWT) has been developed and its flow characteristics have been measured. The HRWT consists of a gas heater which produces an increase in working gas temperature, an expansion nozzle with a large expansion ratio, a vacuum chamber as the test section, and an evacuation system with high exhaust velocity to allow a continuous operation at low a...
متن کاملComputational Studies of the Virginia Tech Hypersonic Wind Tunnel
This paper presents steady-state (viscous) and timeaccurate (inviscid) numerical solutions of the flowfield inside the Virginia Tech Hypersonic Wind Tunnel (VTHST) with a Mach 4 nozzle. The numerical solutions are obtained using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver named GASP. Comparisons between the steady-state CFD solutions and available experimental data are also presented in this pa...
متن کاملDigital holographic interferometry at F4-ONERA hypersonic wind tunnel
The feasibility of digital holographic interferometry using a CW laser @ 532 nm and a Photron APX camera is demonstrated in the F4-ONERA hypersonic wind tunnel. This optical technique is used to point out the possible combustion of a small hydrogen jet in the shock layer developed on the model. The optical technique generates in the field under analysis, interference micro-fringes which are use...
متن کاملA Shock Tube Driven Transonic Wind Tunnel
A small transonic wind tunnel was designed, constructed and calibrated in order to provide a tool for the study and demonstration of transonic flow phenomena. The wind tunnel makes use of flow properties following the propagation of a shock wave along a tube in order to create the transonic flow. This is in contrast to conventional transonic facilities which are supplied from a reservoir or com...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Pulsed Arc Heater for a Hypersonic High Enthalpy Wind Tunnel
A pulsed arc heater was designed and manufactured at Centrospazio to equip a new hypersonic high-enthalpy blow-down wind tunnel capable of producing flows with a specific total enthalpy up to 2.5 MJ/kg. The heater mainly consists of two coaxial electrodes, separated by a constrictor, and a plenum chamber. The flow is heated by an electric arc ignited between the electrodes and sustained by the ...
