The hypersonic, nonequilibrium thermochemistry flow over a cylinder was modeled to study nitric oxide (NO) ultraviolet (UV) emissions. The main focus of this work is to model the …
Experiments were conducted using the X2 expansion tube at two conditions representative of flight velocities of 10.0 and 12.2 km/s for a vehicle entry into Earth's atmosphere …
The European Shock Tube for High-Enthalpy Research is a new state-of-the-art facility, tailored for the reproduction of spacecraft planetary entries in support of future European …
