This paper describes a new method for visualizing three-dimensional shock shapes around hypersonic vehicles using an electrical discharge. The method is based on the following ideas. When an electrical discharge is generated across a shock wave, the shock wave can be seen as a dark portion in the electrical discharge. The three-dimensional shock shape can be visualized by taking a discharge photograph in the rear direction of the flow. The method was developed to make it possible to visualize wide field shock shapes around vehicles using a single electrical discharge. First, a lateral shock shape over a wedge was visualized to investigate the accuracy of the shock shape obtained by the new method. The visualized result was compared with a schlieren photograph, and it was found that the results of both agreed sufficiently. This proved that the new method is a viable method for visualizing shock shapes. Next, a detached cross-sectional shock shape over a delta wing was successfully visualized. Cross-sectional shock shapes cannot be visualized by such optical systems as the schlieren method. Therefore, it can be concluded that the new method is superior for visualizing three-dimensional shock shapes.
