Abstract:In this study, a combined test facility was developed using a combination of an arc-jet tunnel and a shock tunnel for aerothermodynamic testing. The performance validation of individual parts was performed, and results were obtained from the combined test. A small-scale Huels-type arc-jet tunnel was used to preheat the test model by aerodynamic heating before conducting the experiments in the shock tunnel to duplicate the hot surfaces of flight objects encountered during hypersonic flight. The high-enthalpy fl… Show more
