| Abstract | Drop tests were performed in the T-ADFA Shock Tunnel in Canberra to determine the aerodynamic coefficients of a 37.5mm diameter polystyrene sphere experiencing short-duration (approx. 1 millisecond) Mach 10 flow. The aerodynamic forces acting on the sphere were determined from a trajectory analysis based on high-speed schlieren video footage. In order to gain a clearer understanding of the flow-field generated around the models during the tests, transient, moving-mesh computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been used to perform simulations which approximate the conditions experienced in the shock tunnel as closely as possible. For the assumption of steady free-stream conditions the simulations predicted a sphere displacement of 13mm during the nominal 1ms of test time. The numerical displacement predictions were in good agreement with those obtained from the experiment. |
