Rotational temperature imaging of a leading-edge separation in hypervelocity flow
Rotational temperature imaging of a leading-edge separation in hypervelocity flow
This paper presents a rotational temperature map of a leading-edge separation in a low-density hypersonic flow, obtained using imaged fluorescence of nitric oxide (NO). A flow condition with a total specific enthalpy of 3.8 MJ/kg, and for which the continuum assumption should hold, is generated using the T-ADFA free-piston shock …
