Michael Kinzel of UCF has received $1 million from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research to determine how and why raindrops are affected when they come into contact with a hypersonic shock wave. The research will inform development of hypersonic systems for defense and travel.
“This work will help lead to structural integrity when designing hypersonic vehicles,” Kinzel says. “And it develops a framework to understand how to design in that context as well as understand limitations of hypersonic flight with respect to some weather conditions.”
