Gold nanodisk arrays on the upper surface of GaN nanorods were developed with the aim of achieving hypersonic imaging with a detection frequency above 10GHz. In this talk, we report the interesting phenomenon that the hypersonic signal detected by a single gold nanodisk in this structure is dependent on the array periodicity and rod length. We not only investigate the transport behavior of hype...

This report has been produced in order to address aerodynamic characteristics and stability and control issues relating to hypersonic vehicles that are deemed to be significantly different from those of the conventional (subsonic or supersonic) air vehicles. In particular we have addressed issues that are relevant to stability and control of hypersonic vehicles. This report should add to the ex...

A theoretical study is made of hypersonic flows over thin bodies subject to the combined effect of leading-edge bluntness^, boundary-layer displacement as well as surface incidence,, Within the scope of the boundary-layer theory and the hypersonic small-disturbance theorys an approach is developed based on a flow model consisting of three adjoining regionss an inner laminar boundary layerj an o...

This paper introduces Eilmer, a general-purpose open-source compressible flow solver developed at the University of Queensland, designed to support research calculations in hypersonics and high-speed aerothermodynamics. Eilmer has broad userbase several university groups wide range capabilities, which are documented on project's website, accompanying reference manuals, an extensive catalogue ex...
