Hypervelocity shock standoff on spheres in air
To provide data for the validation of computational fluid dynamics models, measurements of
the shock standoff distance on spheres in hypervelocity flows have been made. Test flows of
air at 8.7 and 9.7 km/s were generated in the X2 expansion tunnel fitted with a Mach 10
nozzle. High-speed video images were analysed with a least-squares shape-fitting
algorithm. Assuming a spherical shock shape near the nose enabled increased resolution

Abstract
To provide data for the validation of computational fluid dynamics models, measurements of the shock standoff distance on spheres in hypervelocity flows have been made. Test flows of air at 8.7 and 9.7 km/s were generated in the X2 expansion tunnel fitted with a Mach 10 nozzle. High-speed video images were analysed with a least-squares shape-fitting algorithm. Assuming a spherical shock shape near the nose enabled increased resolution measurements beyond the native pixel size. Normalised shock standoff distances, /, in the range 0.03–0.04 were measured, with sphere diameters, , of 40, 60 and 80 mm.
