A code validation strategy and facility for nonequilibrium, reacting flows
Abstract
The rotational and vibrational population distributions in a hypersonic flow of hot iodine vapor were investigated using a pilot wind tunnel. The tunnel provides run times of about 20 min, with a scale-up to a larger facility appearing to be possible. It will provide a 20-cm-diameter, Mach 9 flow of iodine vapor with only small amounts of free stream nonequilibrium. An analysis of the flow response to a normal shock wave indicates that significant chemistry will occur in model flow fields in the larger facility.
