“…The design of the infrared guide head in the experimental study is a complex iterative optimization process, in which the infrared window needs to meet the optimal design requirements of aerodynamic thermal. And high quality ground test data are needed to verify the engineering design, simulation results, coupled control model, material and component performance, and finally the effectiveness evaluation [5] . However, the experimental test methods are too costly and poorly reproducible, while numerical simulation methods have been widely used in aerodynamic optics research with the improvement of computational power and the continuous optimization of simulation models.…”

The AEDC development effort is extending the size and performance capabilities of arc heaters to satisfy more of the hypersonic testing Center (AEDC) has undertaken an arc heater development program to develop a large, high-pressure, high-power arc heater capability. A large, state-of-needs. the-art segmented arc heater (H3) is presently under development and is scheduled .,,I" I .

The H3 arc heater is a 50-percent geometric scaleup of the existing H1 segmented arc heater and is designed to operate at 2.25 times the power of H1. Future plans also include high-pressure (250 atm) segmented arc heater development, and development of a larger, higher power capability by manifoldina several arc heaters into Zi 15.000 10.000 1,000 0 -a sinale Dlenum or bv develoD-
