Arc Heated Wind Tunnel Flow Diagnostics using Laser-Induced Fluorescence of Atomic Species
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two-photon Laser induced fluorescence diagnostics system for atomic oxygen has been installed at the 750kW arc heated wind tunnel in JAXA in order to obtain velocity, translational temperature, and number density of atomic oxygen simultaneously. It was observed that the center of excitation wavelength is shifted in the shock layer. The Doppler shift due to the free stream velocity has a same order effect on the excitation wavelength. The translational temperature distribution was deduced from spectral broadening and the absolute atomic number density was obtained with a calibration technique by a reference xenon gas cell.

Planar Velocity Measurements of Rarefied Hypersonic Flow over a Tether Using Laser-induced Iodine Fluorescence
An investigation is presented of Mach 12 flow over a wind tunnel model of a tether connecting an aerobraking spacecraft to an inflatable drag device. The study was undertaken to support numerical simulations employed in the design of a “ballute” (balloon-parachute) aerobraking device currently being developed by Ball Aerospace and NASA. The attachment point of the tether to the ballute is subje...

Detailed measurements of flow behavior have been taken in a rarefied ‘slip-flow’ regime hypersonic flow (Mach 12) over a sharp edged flat plate with a circular-cylindrical appendage designed to produced shock wave interactions. The flat plate is presented parallel to the wind tunnel freestream to generate a weak shock which impinges on the nearly-normal cylinder bow shock wave. Tests were condu...

A pulsed arc heater was designed and manufactured at Centrospazio to equip a new hypersonic high-enthalpy blow-down wind tunnel capable of producing flows with a specific total enthalpy up to 2.5 MJ/kg. The heater mainly consists of two coaxial electrodes, separated by a constrictor, and a plenum chamber. The flow is heated by an electric arc ignited between the electrodes and sustained by the ...
