Hypersonic impulse facilities are crucial for reproducing high-enthalpy flight conditions during ground testing, allowing for the evaluation of hypersonic systems with relatively good fidelity and repeatability, and significantly lower costs and risks compared to flight testing. Among these, combustion-driven shock tunnels are notable for generating high-enthalpy flows through the deflagration of combustible mixtures, producing strong shock waves and transient hypersonic flows for testing. This paper presents the ongoing development of the T5 hypersonic shock tunnel at the Institute for Advanced Studies (IEAv) in Brazil, a combustion-driven facility designed to simulate Mach 10 flight conditions in the sensible
atmosphere while accommodating large-scale test models. The results discussed herein emphasize the T5 facility’s readiness to support research and development of hypersonic technologies in Brazil, including preliminary shock-tube flow studies with measurements of combustion pressure, incident shock velocity, and stagnation pressure obtained in the deflagrative combustion mode of operation.
