Heat-Flux Measurement by Sensors Based on Anisotropic Thermoelements in a Gas-Dynamics Experiment Shock Tubes

We present the results of measuring the heat flux using sensors based on anisotropic thermoelements and a thin-film resistance sensor for cases of shock-wave reflection from the end of a shock tube and an external supersonic gas flow around the model. The obtained data demonstrate that such sensors can be applied in gas-dynamics experiments in a wide range of characteristic times.
