Schlieren Measurements at the 10,000-Foot Sled Track

摘要

A schlieren technique has been used at the 10,000-foot sled track to record the interaction of the horizontal bow shock produced by a supersonic sled with the track structure. Under the conditions of these tests, the bow shock reflected from the west retaining wall is observed to interact with the aft portion of the sled; the bow shock reflected from the east rail passes to the rear of the sled. 6 refs., 10 figs.
