Surface pressure measurements on a free-flying cone at mach 7 using pressure sensitive paint by Wheeler, C, Hyslop, A, Vieira, J, Le Page, L, Quinn, MK, Chowdhury, N, Doherty, L

“…The model also featured an on-board inertial measurement unit, thereby providing simultaneous measurement of the aerodynamic forces and surface pressure distribution. The measured surface pressure was compared with analytical and numerical predictions and found to be ≈3kPa higher than expected.…”

Optical properties of edge-linked polymer porphyrin LB films by Grieve, M, Richardson, T, Anderson, H, Bradley, D

“…Linear dichroism has been measured for films deposited at 12 and 39 mN m-1 in order to probe the influence of surface pressure on the orientation of the polymer backbone with respect to the withdrawal direction (deposition axis). …”

Martian atmospheric data assimilation with a simplified general circulation model: Orbiter and lander networks by Lewis, SR, Read, P, Collins, M

“…Such experiments reveal the importance of surface pressure measurements (in combination with an accurate topographic map, such as will be available from laser altimetry) in the determination of the amplitude of large-scale atmospheric waves. …”

Experimental investigation of boundary layer instabilities and transition on sharp and blunt cones in Oxford’s High-Density Tunnel by Ceruzzi, AP, Le Page, LM, Kerth, P, Williams, BAO, McGilvray, M

“…Boundary layer instabilities and transition to turbulence on a 7-degree half-angle cone with varying nose-tip radii in Mach 6 and 7 flow are investigated using a combination of surface heat transfer measurements, surface pressure measurements, and high speed schlieren images. …”

Experimental performance evaluation of a streamline traced inlet at off-design conditions by Tyler, T, Pilkington, A, Wheeler, C, Hambidge, C, Vanyai, T, Wheatley, V, Doherty, LJ, McGilvray, M

“…Instrumentation included fast-response surface pressure measurements and a novel back pressure/mass capture device suitable for accurate measurement of mass flow rate in short duration testing. …”

Measurements of hypersonic double cone flows with shock wave/boundary layer interactions in the X3 expansion tunnel by Kennedy, A, McGilvray, M, James, CM, Morgan, RG, Zander, F

“…The data presented is a full transient set of surface heat flux, and surface pressure measurements along the axial length of the model as well as a full suite of tunnel data. …”

AN OPERATIONAL DATA ASSIMILATION SCHEME FOR THE MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE by Lewis, S, Read, P

“…It is, however, capable of analysing any asynoptic, randomly-distributed dataset, which may include surface pressure, temperature, velocity or constituent data originating either from other past or future spacecraft missions or from models. …”

Mixing characteristics in a hypersonic flow around a transpiration cooled flat plate model by Hermann, T, Ifti, H, McGilvray, M, Doherty, L, Geraets, R

“…A flat plate model is used which is equipped with a gas injection system, four surface mounted heat flux gauges and three surface pressure sensors located downstream of the injection point. …”

Commissioning of the Oxford High Density Tunnel (HDT) for boundary layer stability measurements at Mach 7 by Wylie, S, Doherty, L, McGilvray, M

“…Analysis of high-frequency surface pressure fluctuations at various azimuthal angles and angles of attack up to 12 degrees have shown good agreement with the H2K results, verifying that the HDT can be used for boundary layer instability measurements.…”

Solar forcing of climate: model results by Palmer, M, Gray, L, Allen, M, Norton, W

“…Both simulations produce a relatively weak surface pressure response to solar forcing that does not strongly resemble the Arctic Oscillation. …”

The effect of hot-streaks on HP vane surface and endwall heat transfer: An experimental and numerical study by Povey, T, Chana, K, Jones, T, Hurrion, J, ASME

“…A difference of one-half of an NGV pitch in the circumferential (clocking) position of the hot-streak with respect to the NGV was used to investigate the affect of clocking on the vane surface and endwall heat transfer rate. The vane surface pressure distributions, and the results of a flow-visualization study, which are also given, are used to aid interpretation of the results. …”
