Abstract
An experimental investigation of the non-equilibrium behaviour of the shock stand-off distance ahead of spheres at low supersonic Mach number is reported. An intermittent wind tunnel operating with a reacting gas mixture with one non-equilibrium mode is described. A non-equilibrium parameter after Damköhler is determined for the flow and the experiments cover a range of this variable from near-frozen to near-equilibrium states. The shock stand-off distance is measured and found to vary as expected between these two bounds with a low value at equilibrium. With all other variables governing shock standoff distance held constant, such measurements can also be used to determine the relaxation time of the non-equilibrium mode.
