Molecular sink facility and 25-foot space simulator have been used to distinguish nature of exhaust plumes from nozzles with relatively large internal boundary layer flow. Plume density has been measured by electron beam/photomultiplier system.
Unique features of wind tunnel facilities at Jet Propulsion Laboratory permit variety of conventional and novel tests to be performed at supersonic and hypersonic speeds. Facilities and operations are described.
