Abstract
This paper presents the first experimental measurements of shock-layer radiation from a new high-enthalpy ground-test facility: the T6 Aluminium Shock Tube mode. A dual-channel imaging emission spectroscopy system was used to record spatially and spectrally resolved, absolute radiation data from air shock layers at velocities ranging from 7 to [Formula: see text]. The presented conditions are designed to provide overlap with other experimental datasets in the literature, from both the NASA Electric Arc Shock Tube and an atmospheric plasma torch. Comparisons with these data (as well as computational tools) was favorable, thereby benchmarking the data from the new shock tube against established sources. The measurements made in this paper also confirm that T6 is now the first European facility capable of performing such superorbital shock-layer radiation studies, thereby providing a new capability to support current and future missions in the solar system.
期刊介绍:
This Journal is devoted to the advancement of the science and technology of thermophysics and heat transfer through the dissemination of original research papers disclosing new technical knowledge and exploratory developments and applications based on new knowledge. The Journal publishes qualified papers that deal with the properties and mechanisms involved in thermal energy transfer and storage in gases, liquids, and solids or combinations thereof. These studies include aerothermodynamics; conductive, convective, radiative, and multiphase modes of heat transfer; micro- and nano-scale heat transfer; nonintrusive diagnostics; numerical and experimental techniques; plasma excitation and flow interactions; thermal systems; and thermophysical properties. Papers that review recent research developments in any of the prior topics are also solicited.
