The book is devoted to hypersonics, including experimental work in shock tunnel flows with emphasis on the influence of "real gas" effects on aerodynamic phenomena encountered in hypersonics and aerospace studies. Numerical methods used for the determination of hypersonic flowfields, including chemical effects, are presented and applied to steady and unsteady configurations. The book also contains recent progress in shock tube and shock tube tunnel technology, including free piston shock tunnels, diaphragmless shock tubes, various processes for improving shock tube performances and numerous diagnostic techniques used in millisecond facilities such as force, moment measurements and optical methods. Papers on mixing problems in supersonic combustion and applications to ram accelerators are also in this volume.
This volume is addressed to scientists working on "hot" hypersonics, aerospace engineers, shock tube designers, researchers using shock tubes and associated equipment, and CFD people trying to simulate complex reactive flowfields.
Proceedings of the 19th International Symposium on Shock Waves. Held at Marseille, France, 26-30 July 1993
Recently, there have been significant advances in the fields of high-enthalpy hypersonic flows, high-temperature gas physics, and chemistry shock propagation in various media, industrial and medical applications of shock waves, and shock-tube technology. This series contains all the papers and lectures of the 19th International Symposium on Shock Waves held in Marseille in 1993. They are published in four topical volumes, each containing papers on related topics, and preceded by an overview written by a leading international expert. The volumes may be purchased independently.
This book is devoted to hypersonics, including experimental work achieved in shock tunnel flows with a particular emphasis on the influence in hypersonics and aerospace studies. It addresses scientists working in "hot" hypersonics, aerospace engineers, shock tube designers, researchers using shock tubes, and CFD people trying to simulate complex reactive flowfields.
