Objective
The Facility for Aerothermodynamic and Propulsion Studies (FAPS) consists of different installations, including:
i) A wind-tunnel (FRSRF) that offers a wide range of Mach (0.8-30) and Reynolds number (300-2.106) with the advantage of long running time; FRSRF has already been open to external users under program HCM. ii) An installation designed for scientific studies related to electric propulsion of spacecraft and satellites; iii) A large subsonic wind-tunnel with two test-sections respectively 2 m x 2 m and 5 m x 5 m in size. iv) Installations for combustion and reactive flows related to propulsion studies v) Installations for laser spectroscopy relevant for reactive and ionized flow diagnostics
Typical examples of studies that can be carried out in FAPS are: plasma flows, combustion, low-density and/or hypersonic aerodynamic and aerothermal studies, material testing at high temperature. Examples of applications are: plumes from satellite station-keeping rocket-engines, atmospheric re-entry, efficiency and thermal loads of spacecraft control surfaces, thermal protection systems, scramjet engines, liquid and solid propellant rocket propulsion, aeronautical reactors, diesel engine combustion and others.
Access to FAPS will be provided during four years to new users within the annual limit of 120 men-months and 55 weeks of full-use.
FAPS is the major component of the Centre for Engineering Sciences of Orlians. The Centre is supported by the CNRS, The University of Orleans and the Conseil Regional Centre.
