Shock Impingement Interaction on a One Degree-of-Freedom Slender Hypersonic Vehicle in Mach 5 Flow
Conference Paper
Full-text available
  • Jan 2024
This experimental study investigates the dynamic response of a slender compliant axisymmetric model when exposed to steady, freestream aerodynamic loads and when exposed to an SBLI-generated unsteady shock impingement in UT Austin's Mach 5 blowdown wind tunnel. Z-type shadowgraph, pressure-sensitive paint (PSP), and edge-tracking measurements were...

Aerodynamic Modeling of Leading-Edge Slat Morphing in Low Reynolds Number Flow
Thesis
Full-text available
  • Apr 2021
Atmospheric flight is becoming more prevalent and congested from the use of drones for delivery of goods to the increased accessibility of international travel in jumbo jets. Current methods of flight control consist of discrete flaps and slats that decrease flight efficiency and consequently consume more energy and fuel than in their non-deployed...
