CONJUGATE HEAT TRANSFER AND THERMO-STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF THE ACTIVELY COOLED MULTI-STAGE CONICAL NOZZLE AND HYPERSONIC LOW-REYNOLDS DIFFUSER OF THE NEW ARC-HEATED WIND TUNNEL (AWHT-II) OF THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON
(2017-05-24)
Arc-heated wind tunnels are the primary test facility for screening and qualification of candidate materials for hypersonic thermal protection systems (TPS). Via an electric arc that largely augments the enthalpy (by tens ...
Development of the Vehicle Configuration Compendium: A Comprehensive Data-Information-Knowledge System to Aid in High-Speed Vehicle Design
(2021-12-21)
The conceptual design phase is the most crucial phase in hypersonic vehicle design. Choices made during this phase will have significant impact on the success of the overall project and the feasibility of the end-product. ...
Advancement of an Inhouse Aerospace Vehicle Design Synthesis System through the Introduction of a Novel Database-Knowledgebase System and by Improving the Geometry and Aerothermodynamic Disciplinary Processes
(2023-05-19)
Throughout the years of aerospace vehicle design, the process in which a vehicle is designed has drastically improved from being primarily developed through trial and error, to using sophisticated synthesis systems. While ...
Development of Femtosecond Laser Electronic Excitation Tagging (FLEET) and Femtosecond Two-Photon Absorption Laser Induced Fluorescence (fs-TALIF) Diagnostics for Species Number Density and Velocity Measurements in Arc-Jet Flows
(2023-05-19)
Arc-jet flows are the only ground-test facilities that can recreate hypersonic high-enthalpy flight conditions for long durations. Characterizing these complex flow regimes, generally under thermo-chemical non-equilibrium, ...
