A reflected shock is utilised to produce a region of stagnated high-pressure gas which flows through a converging-diverging nozzle. The test time is defined by the duration of steady conditions in the stagnated supply region, typically on the order of 1-10ms. This necessitates a method for increasing the duration of steady supply conditions through a process known as contact interface tailoring. A tailoring method based on a state-to-state equilibrium thermochemistry solver is described which maintains the reflected shock strength across the driver and test gas. The method is applied to an Earth re-entry condition and validated through a shot conducted within the T6 Stalker Tunnel in RST mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/HiSST-2024-195.pdf\">Read the full paper here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>Joshua ASHBY, Matthew MCGILVRAY<\/b><\/p>\n<p>DOI Number: N\/A<\/p>\n<p>Conference number: HiSST-2024-195<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[993,1407,1415],"tags":[546,1710,1711],"class_list":["post-17047","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events","category-11-hisst-2024","category-testing-evaluation","tag-hypersonics","tag-reflected-shock","tag-tailored-contact-surface","category-993","category-1407","category-1415","description-off"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17047","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17047"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17047\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20815,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17047\/revisions\/20815"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
