This paper introduces Eilmer, a general-purpose open-source compressible flow solver
developed at the University of Queensland, designed to support research calculations in …

Many previous studies have addressed the problem of theoretically approximating the shock
standoff distance; however, limitations to these methods fail to produce excellent results …

A set of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) aerobraking experiments was conducted with the aim
of simulating the Earth reentry environment for Mars return trajectories, and to study the …

A high-temperature air collisional-radiative model considering both vibrational and
electronic excited states is established to investigate the plasma characteristics along the …

The hypersonic high enthalpy nitrogen flows over spheres are investigated by high-fidelity
state-to-state (StS) modeling. The objective of the study is to understand the nonequilibrium …

A set of experiments was conducted with the aim of evaluating total heat flux mitigation using
magnetohydrodynamic flow control over ionized shock layers surrounding planetary entry …

In this work, an overview of flow diagnosis in a shock tunnel is made by means of using
established techniques that are easy to setup, economical to arrange, and simple to …

Traditionally, expansion tube test times have been experimentally evaluated using test
section mounted impact pressure probes. This paper proposes two new methods which can …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the characteristics of hypersonic flow past a
blunt body. Design/methodology/approach The implicit finite volume schemes are derived …

This paper reports on an experimental study of magnetohydrodynamic aerobraking using an
expansion tube facility, which can generate the correct electrodynamic boundary conditions …
