SynopsisIntroducing the state-of-the-art of hypervelocity shock tunnels, this complete reference features a variety of drivers and step-by-step introductions to their theories, physics, methods and testing. This book enables researchers and engineers in aerospace to design and improve wind tunnels that simulate flow qualities of real hypersonic flyers., Learn to design and improve state-of-the-art aerodynamic ground testing facilities in this comprehensive reference book, with particular focus on high-enthalpy shock tunnels. Including the latest advances in detonation-driven high-enthalpy shock tunnels, readers will discover how to extend test time with brand new concepts and duplicate real hypersonic flight test conditions. Through a systematic approach, the book describes technologies for a variety of different drivers in hypersonic and high-enthalpy shock tunnels. The fundamental theories for hypersonic and high-enthalpy shock tunnels are described step-by-step, with examples throughout, providing an accessible introduction. Built on years of real-world experience, this book examines in detail the advantages and challenges of improving test flow qualities, including increasing total pressure and enthalpy, model scale amplification and test-time extending for different types of shock tunnel drivers. This is an ideal companion handbook for aerospace engineers as well as graduate students.
