What is Hypersonic Flow?

• Hypersonic aerothermodynamic phenomena:– strong shock waves with high temperature– not calorifically perfect (variable γ)– chemical reactions– significant surface heat flux– several different types of vehicles:

• missiles, space planes, capsules, air-breathers

• Working definition of hypersonic flow:

M = (U / a) >> 1


Hypersonic Examples:I. Missiles

• Mission: high-speed delivery of explosives• Aerodynamics: slender body with blunt nose• Propulsion: rockets, ramjets• Examples: AMRV, SCUD, Patriot, Hy-Fly


Hypersonic Examples:II. Space Planes

• Mission: orbital re-entry• Aerodynamics: gliders with thermal protection• Propulsion: none (except small control thrusters)• Examples: Space Shuttle, Buran, Hermes


Hypersonic Examples:III. Air-breathing Systems

• Missions: launch, cruise, orbital re-entry• Aerodynamics: slender with integrated engines• Propulsion: ram/scram-jets, rockets, turbojets• Examples: X-15, NASP, X-43, X-51


Hypersonic Examples:IV. Planetary Entry

• Missions: EDL, aero-braking, aero-capture• Aerodynamics: very blunt, thick heat shield• Propulsion: none (sometimes RCS)• Examples: Apollo, MSL, CEV (Orion)


• Flight vehicles:– WAC Corporal missile (1949, M~8)– Vostok I (1961, M~25)– X-15 (1963-1967, M~7)– Space Shuttle (1981-???, M~25)– HyShot (2002, M~8)– X43 (2004, M>7)– Hy-CAUSE (2007)

• Recent programs without flight:– NASP, Hermes, AFE, AOTV (1990)– VentureStar-X33 (2000)

Hypersonic Tales of Woe

• Hypersonics produces unexpected phenomena

• X15 test flight with dummy scramjet installed:– unexpected shock interactions generated– burned holes in connection pylon

• First re-entry of Space Shuttle (STS-1):– larger than expected nose-up pitch generated– required near-maximum deflection of body flap

• Shock-shock interactions:– heating amplified significantly– leading edges, cowl lips,

engine flow paths


• Ballistic missiles:– mission: short flight, fast impact– rocket launch, ballistic entry– no thrust or lift during entry (T=0, L=0)– fixed flight path at large angle (γ=const)

• Air-breathing vehicle:– missions: cruise, orbital return– completely reusable– powered take-off and entry– constant for engine efficiency

• Space Shuttle:– mission: orbital return– rocket launch– equilibrium glide entry– no thrust, L/D~1, γ~0 (shallow entry)

1.2 Post-Shock Conditions

• Perfect-gas shock relations:

• Density ratio asymptotes to:

• Pressure and temperature are quadratic in M

– Makes sense: energy is conserved


Post-Shock Conditions

• Post-Shock Temperature:

Temperatures rapidlybecome huge!



• Variation of air internal energy with T:

10% departure fromcalorically perfect gasequation of state =onset of hypersonic flow



• More fundamentally – 1D gas dynamics:

• Plus equations of state:

• No exact solutions

Thermally perfect,calorically imperfect

General equilibriumgas mixture



• Hypersonic limit:

• Note that post-shock enthalpy and pressure onlydepend on upstream conditions in hypersonic limit.

Can solve for thethermodynamic state



• Iterative solution to shock relations:

• Guess a value of ε = εi and iterate:

Use tables, NASA CEA, etc.


Equilibrium Air

Temperature (K) Z = Compressibility



• Example: M = 12 at 30 km altitude:

Imperfect Perfect



• Perfect-gas vs. equilibrium post-shock conditions:

Difference is due toenergy storage ininternal energymodes + chemistry



• Post-shock pressure has weak dependence on non-ideal gas effects (just through (1- ε))

• Post-shock temperature and density have strong Machnumber (free-stream speed) dependence– Density ratio > (γ + 1)/(γ - 1) = 6– Temperature decreases significantly

• Concept of γ no longer has much meaning; if:

1.3 Reacting Gas Effects

• Analysis of Earth hypersonic vehicles at U<8km/s:– 5-species air model sufficient: N2, O2, NO, N, O

• Reactions:– Dissociation-recombination:

Finite Rate of Reactions

• For illustration, consider:– 2-species: N2, N

• Each reaction proceeds at a finite rate:

• Forward rate coefficients measured experimentally, kf (T)

• Backward rate coefficients from equilibrium constant:

• Net rate of change in concentration of a species:– contributions from forward and backward directions

• Chemical equilibrium:– final state reached instantaneously– production of each species balanced by its destruction– analytical solution for our system:

– α=mass fraction, m=atom mass, ρ=density, V=volume,θd=dissociation temperature

• Chemical equilibrium:– O2 dissociates before N2 (has lower θd)– fewer atoms at high pressure (more recombination)


Finite Rate of Reactions• Chemical nonequilibrium:

– equilibrium end state reached only after finite time– in a flow field, this translates as finite distance


Nonequilibrium

• Impact of chemical nonequilibrium:– chemical composition mainly affects energy of flow

• exothermic reactions consume energy• catalysis: fraction of atoms reaching the vehicle

surface may recombine releasing heat– scaling:

• nonequilibrium flow occurs at lower densityand/or smaller body length scales

Ionization• Significance:

– plasma causes communications blackout– highly catalytic ions are source of heating


Radiation• Another important process at high temperature:

– activation-deactivation:

– spontaneous emission:– analysis is complex, no closed form expressions– research area, e.g. NEQAIR (NASA-ARC)

• Radiative heating important at U>12km/s:– e.g. stagnation point heating correlation (Martin)

– also proportional to shock layer thickness– Stardust: radiation provides 10% of total heating
