ABSTRACT
At the previous RHTG workshop, we reported a series of shock layer radiation measurements collected between 7-9 km/s and the corresponding disagreement to predicted radiance through the NEQAIR...

During atmospheric entry high velocity free-stream gas decelerates rapidly through a shock near the vehicle surface. This sudden compression results in very high post-shock temperatures which are sufficient to cause thermochemical changes in the gas, including dissociation and ionisation. The internal energy modes of the flow also become excited, causing electromagnetic radiation to be...

ABSTRACT
The present paper reports the analysis of shocks in pure CO at velocities from 3-9 km/s in NASA Ames’ Electric Arc Shock Tube (EAST) facility, with the intent of simplifying the analysis...

Detailed spectrally and spatially resolved radiance has been measured in the Electric Arc Shock Tube at NASA Ames Research Center for conditions relevant to Titan entry, with varying atmospheric composition, free-stream density (equivalently, altitude) and shock velocity. The test campaign measured radiation at velocities from 4.7 km/s to 8 km/s and free-stream pressures of 0.1, 0.28 and 0.47...
