Abstract
The time required to establish steady separated compression–corner flow is examined under hypervelocity conditions in a free-piston shock tunnel. This time is reasonably well described using previous perfect gas analyses. The results suggest that, provided the nozzle reservoir enthalpy is 20 MJ kg\(^{-1}\) or less, there is sufficient time to establish steady separated flow before driver gas contamination becomes a significant problem in the present facility.
