The Àigh Enthalpy Shock Tunnel G ottingen of the German Aerospace enter, DLR, is one of
the major European ground based test facilities for the investigation of re-entry flows. In this …

Experiments were performed in the T5 Hypervelocity Shock Tunnel to investigate
nonequilibrium real-gas effects on separation length using a double-wedge geometry and …

At hypersonic flight the kinetic energy of the flow is large enough that high temperature
effects such as vibrational excitation or dissociation of the fluid molecules occur. Due to the …

Abstract The High Enthalpy Shock Tunnel Gottingen (HEG) of the German Aerospace
Center (DLR) is a free piston shock tunnel. When operating such a facility in reflected mode …

PLIF temperature measurements in a free-piston shock tunnel are presented. The viability of
performing quantitative temperature measurements is established and application …

ABSTRACT The High Enthalpy Shock Tunnel Göttingen (HEG) of the German Aerospace
Center (DLR) is one of the major European hypersonic test facilities. It was commissioned …

The free flight force measurement technique is a very attractive tool to determine forces and
moments in particular in short duration ground based test facilities. With test times in the …

The interaction between high-enthalpy partially ionized gas flows and magnetic fields,
mostly called magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), is regarded as a potential way to manipulate …

Dedicated experimental investigations of the different components of combined cycle
propulsion systems are necessary for the understanding of the physical and chemical …
