Abstract:At Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), a hypersonic rarefied wind tunnel (HRWT) has been developed for rarefied aerodynamic measurements. Rarefied aerodynamics need to be accurately estimated for a precise determination of its flight path or landing site in order to improve the feasibility of space missions, such as a landing mission to Mars, Super Low Altitude Test Satellite, etc. In this work, we have first investigated rarefaction effect on pitot tube measurements experimentally and numerically to im… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
