Simulation of high mach number scramjet flow conditions using the X2 expansion tube

Expansion tubes are the only type of ground test facility currently able to simulate high Mach number scramjet test flows. These access-to-space flow conditions are characterised by total pressures of the order of gigapascals. The University of Queensland's X2 expansion tube facility has recent...
