Supersonic flow with feeding of energy [PDF]

open access: yes
The present work discusses the results of some experimental studies on the possibility of attenuating shock waves in a supersonic flow. The shock waves were formed by an external source of electrical energy.

Centaur in-tank explosion flow fields within STS and Titan 4 payload spaces [PDF]

open access: yes
Explosions are examined which result from the mixing of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen (LH2-LO2) such that the reactants are confined by the missile (CBM) body. Explosion which were confined by the ground surface (CBGS) were also studied, with results
