Commissioning Ludwieg mode with isentropic compression heating for the Oxford High Density Tunnel

A new mode of operation, Ludwieg mode with Isentropic Compression Heating (LICH), has been commissioned for the Oxford High Density Tunnel (HDT). LICH mode can extend the total temperature range of Ludwieg tunnels by including a piston stroke in the shot sequence, compressing the test gas and heatin...
