Description
The purpose of this initiative is to develop a revolutionary shear-sensitive film that when applied to a surface under hypersonic flow conditions, would allow for global and instantaneous measurements of wall shear stress. The shear-sensitive film will have a temporal resolution greater than or equal to 1KHz, will be capable of measuring shear stresses up to 250Pa or greater, and will be capabile of doing so in environments with tempearutres up to 395K at Mach 5-7 on canonical geometries in Phase II, whereby the end of Phase II, the technology will be TRL 5. The defense-critical development of the shear stress measurement method on surfaces under hypersonic conditions will serve as proff-of-concept for its further development in Phase II.
