Calibration of Oxygen Atom Mass Fraction in High Enthalpy Shock Tunnel Flow Based on Shock Stand-off Distance Measurement

Determination of Shock Standoff Distance for Wedge at Supersonic Flow

An experimental investigation is conducted to calculate the shock standoff (SSO) distance in front of an acute-angled wedge. For this experimentation, simple water flows channel analysis is carried out. The flow velocity is varied from 13.2 cm/s to 25.5 cm/s increasing in steps of 1 cm/s. A velocity of 13.2 cm/s corresponds to Froude number 1.13 and velocity of 25.5 cm/s to Froude number 1.41. ...

Problems in high-shock measurement

Shock tunnel noise measurement with resonantly enhanced focused schlieren deflectometry

The character of the boundary layer noise and ambient tunnel noise are of interest in the experimental study of laminar to turbulent transition. The instability mechanism in hypersonic flow over slender bodies is the acoustic mode. A number of investigations of flow over a slender cone in high-enthalpy facilities have been performed; however, measurements of the boundary layer noise and ambient...

ECT and LS-SVM Based Void Fraction Measurement of Oil-Gas Two-Phase Flow

A method based on Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) and an improved Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LS-SVM) is proposed for void fraction measurement of oil-gas two-phase flow. In the modeling stage, to solve the two problems in LS-SVM, pruning skills are employed to make LS-SVM sparse and robust; then the Real-Coded Genetic Algorithm is introduced to solve the difficult problem...

Lung Changes in Shock

In the very beginning stage of the lung changes are Perivascular, capillary wall edema, thickening of the interstitial, lymph and vascular dilatation.  In the late stage of the shock the following changes will occuree  Microthromboses of the lung capillary, polynulcear in­filtration into the interstitial, the existence of polynu­clear in the alveoli, proliferation of interstitial mesenchy­ma,...
