Numerical and experimental analyses of ablation measurements in expansion wind tunnel facilities using a new plasma pre-heating technique

A new technique for preheating axisymmetric samples of heat shield material has been demonstrated through this work. Future applications for the technique are expected to be found in expansion tube facilities that can simulate the true flow energy under re-entry conditions. This new technique was ap...
