Abstract
Results of tests performed in a free-piston shock tunnel on a model scramje t engine are presented. Two conditions which differed in Mach number were t ested. Flow at the lower Mach number condition was achieved using a variabl e-angle diffuser. Shadowgraph images and floor static pressure measurements were obtained, the latter used as the basis of a finite-difference calcula tion of flow properties in the scramjet.
