Superorbital Flows with Separation This project is directed towards the influence that real gas effects may have on separation regions in superorbital hypersonic flows. Boundary-layer combustion Injection, ignition and combustion of fuel into the boundary layer of a supersonic flow can lead to substantial reductions in skin friction. This has potential for improvement of the performance of scramjet-powered vehicles. Force Measurement in Impulse Facilities Measurement of aerodynamic forces on bodies in short-duration impulse facilities. A number of such facilities exist at The University of Queensland. Scramjet Testing in Shock Tunnels Generally half the drag of hypersonic vehicles will be caused by air friction on the aircraft?s skin. A new method of reducing skin friction has been discovered. The range of conditions under which this method will be effective are being investigated. Boundary-layer Transition This project studies the processes by which a laminar boundary layer transitions to a turbulent one under conditions of hypervelocity flow. This will lead to a better understanding and improved modelling of the high-speed transition process.
