Refurbishment and characterisation of the Oxford Low Density Hypersonic Wind Tunnel

<p>In the study of atmospheric entry, one of the most challenging environments to model is the lower phase of the transition regime between free molecular and continuum behaviour. This regime, known as slip flow, occurs at Knudsen numbers between 0.001 and 0.1, i.e. when the mean free path of...
