Initial experience in operating a small UTA (University of Texas at Arlington) shock tunnel at high Reynolds numbers for perfect gas simulation of hypersonic flow and boundary layer studies is described. Particular attention is given to tradeoffs between various constraints for achieving the test requirements, and methods for obtaining precise control of test conditions and protecting low-range pressure transducers from overpressure damage.
