Supersonic High-Reynolds (SHR) Tunnel

SHR is a smaller scale supersonic (M = 2.2, 3.0 and 5.0) facility with high Reynolds number capability (Re/m = 40 – 60 million). It was developed at TAMU for fundamental turbulent boundary layer research, scramjet fuel injector studies, and other high-speed experiments. The updated facility has a nozzle exit of 12.7 cm x 12.7 cm and has a ~10 minute tun time with 2.5 hour duty cycle.
