Abstract

The LENS-XX expansion tunnel was used to study high enthalpy flow on a cylindrical test object. The emission from the bow shock region is investigated with a UV-Visible imaging spectrometer for altitudes above 70 km and velocities above 5 km/s. In the LENS-XX facility we have been able to measure the emission from the bow shock for approximately 1 millisecond. In addition flow velocity using a microwave and a Doppler shift technique is reported.
