A nozzle shape optimization study for a quasi-axisymmetric scramjet has been performed for a Mach 7.9 operating condition with hydrogen fuel, aiming at the application of a hypersonic airbreathing vehicle. In this study, the nozzle geometry which is

The design of a nozzle of an unfueled quasi-axisymmetric scramjet model is optimized for minimum drag for a Mach 8 flight condition. The approach to the nozzle design is to develop a simple force-prediction methodology in an optimization study. The s

The net axial force on a non-fuelled quasi-axisymmetric scramjet model designed for operation at Mach 6 was measured in the T4 Stalker tube at The University of Queensland using a single-component stress wave force balance. The design used was a vari

The development of new methods of producing hypersonic wind-tunnel flows at increasing velocities during the last few decades is reviewed with attention to airbreathing propulsion, hypervelocity aerodynamics and superorbital aerodynamics. The role of

The freestream composition is an important parameter in ground-based aerodynamic testing, and direct measurement of it is very important. This paper reports extensive composition measurements in the freestream of the T4 free-piston shock-tunnel, empl

This article reports on the use of a shock tunnel to study the operation of scramjet powered configurations at sub-orbital velocities above 2 km/s. Thrust, as given by a net thrust equation, is used as a figure of merit throughout the study. After a

Shvab-Zeldovich coupling of flow variables has been used to extend Van Driest's theory of turbulent boundary-layer skin friction to include injection and combustion of hydrogen in the boundary layer. The resulting theory is used to make predictions o

Available test time is an important issue for ground-based flow research, particularly for impulse facilities such as shock tunnels, where test times of the order of several ms are typical. The early contamination of the test flow by the driver gas i

Two aspects of hydrogen-air non-equilibrium chemistry related to scramjets are nozzle freezing and a process called ‘kinetic afterburning’ which involves continuation of combustion after expansion in the nozzle. These effects were investigated nu

Skin-friction measurements are reported for high-enthalpy and high-Mach-number laminar, transitional and turbulent boundary layers. The measurements were performed in a free-piston shock tunnel with air-flow Mach number, stagnation enthalpy and Reyno
