Abstract:
The experimental program described herein was designed to investigate vacuum ultraviolet radiation processes in air, with particular emphasis directed at the interaction of shock-induced nonequilibrium radiation with gaseous species. The program was divided into three main tasks which were 1 To perform NO absorption measurements using a shock-tube splitter plate technique. 2 To investigate VUV excitation mechanisms using sidewall radiation overshoot measurements. 3 To perform endwall radiation measurements of the advancing shock front to verify previously developed excitation and radiative flux models. The results of this program are summarized.
