The fluid–structure interaction of a flexible panel exposed to a ramp-induced shock-
wave/boundary-layer interaction (SWBLI) at Mach 6 is investigated experimentally for …

In this work, an enhanced version of the focused laser differential interferometer (FLDI) is
used to measure second-mode instabilities in the boundary layer on a flared cone in Mach 6 …

The transient response of a plate and a cavity is investigated in a supersonic wind tunnel
start experiment where the freestream flow inside the test section reaches turbulent flow at …

Understanding the effects of fluid-structure interactions caused by turbulent boundary layers
and shock boundary layer interactions, on thin, compliant, structures is crucial for developing …

inherently self-aligned focusing schlieren system is presented for use in experiments that …

Global surface pressure measurements have been carried out on a 7° half-angle circular
cone/flare model at nominally zero angle of attack using pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) …

The US Air Force Research Laboratory Structural Sciences Center recently started an
experimental campaign in the Arnold Engineering Development Center von Kármán Facility …

A compact focusing schlieren system is presented that eliminates the need for a separate
source and cutoff grid. Light is projected through a grid ruling and onto a background, where …

A theoretical model of an elastic panel in hypersonic flow is derived to be used for design
and analysis. The nonlinear von Kármán plate equations are coupled with 1st order Piston …

Three-dimensional shock wave–boundary-layer interaction arising due to the deflection of a
control surface on a slender cone has been studied at Mach 5 and Mach 8. The control …
