Gas Dynamics Lab at Stanford University

The Gas Dynamics Lab at Stanford University is a research facility focused on studying the behavior of gases at high speeds and pressures, especially in cases like supersonic and hypersonic flows. It examines how gases move and interact in conditions relevant to aerospace applications, such as jet and rocket engines, as well as atmospheric phenomena. Through experiments and simulations, the lab seeks to improve understanding of gas flow physics, optimize propulsion systems, and advance aerospace technology, contributing to safer, faster, and more efficient aircraft and spacecraft.
