Guerric de Crombrugghe is a collaborative PhD from University of Queensland in Australia. He will stay for one year at VKI starting from this month in the AR department.
At this occasion he will report on his current work on March 25, 2015 at 10:30 in Florine Meeting room.

Abstract:
Binary scaling is one of the similitude laws applied to study high enthalpy flows such as those characterizing atmospheric entry. During this seminar, two experiments aiming at better understanding it will be presented. The purpose of the first, conducted in the X2 expansion tube at the University of Queensland in Australia, is to define some of the shortcomings of binary scaling and how they could be predicted or quantified. The second, conducted in the Plasmatron at the von Karman Institute in Belgium, is a validation of the use of binary scaling in subsonic flows.
