Determination of density and concentration from fluorescent images of a gas flow
A fluorescent image analysis procedure to determine the distribution of species concentration and density in a gas flow is proposed. The fluorescent emission is due to the excitation of atoms/molecules of a gas that is intercepted by an electron blade ...

Aerodynamic Characteristics at a Mach Number of 6.8 of Two Hypersonic Missile Configurations, One with Low-Aspect-Ratio Cruciform Fins and Trailing-Edge Flaps and One with a Flared Afterbody and All-Movable Controls [PDF]
An investigation has been made to determine the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch at a Mach number of 6.8 of hypersonic missile configurations with cruciform trailing-edge flaps and with all-movable control surfaces.

Experimental investigation of hypersonic buzz on a high cross-range shuttle configuration [PDF]
A wind tunnel investigation has been conducted to determine the nature of an unsteady hypersonic flow phenomenon, often referred to as hypersonic buzz, on a 1:100 scale model representative of a high cross-range shuttle configuration.

Hypersonic limit for steady compressible Euler flows passing straight cones [PDF]
We investigate the hypersonic limit for steady, uniform, and compressible polytropic gas passing a symmetric straight cone. By considering Radon measure solutions, we show that as the Mach number of the upstream flow tends to infinity, the measures associated with the weak entropy solution containing an attached shock ahead of the cone converge vaguely

Convergence Rate of the Hypersonic Similarity for Two-Dimensional Steady Potential Flows with Large Data [PDF]
We establish the optimal convergence rate of the hypersonic similarity for two-dimensional steady potential flows with {\it large data} past over a straight wedge in the $BV\cap L^1$ framework, provided that the total variation of the large data multiplied by $\gamma-1+\frac{a_{\infty}^2}{M_\infty^2}$ is uniformly bounded with respect to the adiabatic ...
