title = "Effects of shock-tube cleanliness on slender-body hypersonic instability and transition studies at high enthalpy",
abstract = "A series of slender-body hypervelocity boundary-layer instability and transition experiments were performed in the Caltech T5 Reflected-Shock Tunnel. During this campaign, it became clear that the condition of the T5 shock tube would significantly affect the consistency of the instability and transition measurements; a regimen of cleaning was iterated on until satisfactory repeatability was achieved. In this work, a description of the cleaning regimen is given. Additionally, boundary-layer instability measurements and a statistical analysis of the boundary-layer transition scatter are presented for experiments before and after cleaning regimen implementation.",
