Abstract:The design and implementation of new thermal protection systems for hypersonic flight requires extensive knowledge of how the high-temperature, chemically reacting flow interacts with the material surface. Analysis of these gas-surface interactions is commonly performed in high-enthalpy ground testing facilities, however the demand and cost of large-scale plasma wind tunnels reduces their viability for supporting the material development process. To this end, the University of Tennessee has constructed a conti… Show more
