Welcome to the Thermophysics Facilities Branch Website. Here you will find some information about what we do. Our primary goal is as follows:
�The
safe operation, maintenance, repair, and improvement of the High
Risk Thermophysics Facilities at Ames Research Center.
�
�Panel
Test Facility (PTF)
Aerodynamic Heating Facility (AHF) Interactive Heating Facility (IHF)
�
Hypervelocity Free-Flight Aerodynamic Facility (HFFAF)
Electric Arc Shock Tube (EAST) Ames Vertical Gun Range (AVGR)
Mars Surface Wind Tunnel (MARSWIT) Venus Wind Tunnel Vortex Generator (Dust Devil)
�
�
�
These facilities support national programs by providing ground-based high enthalpy simulation capabilities to support R&D activities in aerothermodynamics, thermal protection materials, vehicle structures, and hypersonic propulsion.
