Supersonic Flows, Mixing, and Combustion Principal
Investigator: Professor Ron Hanson |
Emerging aerospace applications, such as scramjets and ram accelerators, represent challenging new areas for research and development. We are investigating areas focused on supersonic flows, mixing, and combustion by utilizing modern optical diagnostic techniques such as PLIF and diode laser absorption to provide detailed spatial and temporal information about the complex flowfields which occur inside these devices. In addition, our ultra high speed framing schlieren provides a unique tool to study the flow development of very high speed flows.
