... During that time, he published some 35 papers dealing, for the most part, with the use of shock tubes and their instrumentation for the study of hypersonic flows, wave engines, and high-temperature gas dynamics and related chemical reactions. By this time, Abe was well known internationally for his research in high-energy gas dynamics and spacecraft reentry physics, for the development of shock tubes and shock tunnels, and for his active, influential participation in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA)
