Planar Rayleigh Scattering Results in Helium / Air Mixing Experiments in a Mach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Planar Rayleigh scattering measurements using an ArF-excimer laser have been performed to investigate helium mixing into air at supersonic speeds. The capability of the Rayleigh scattering technique for flow visualization of a turbulent environment is demonstrated in a large-scale, Mach 6 facility. The detection limit obtained with the present setup indicates that planar, quantitative measurements of density can be made over a large cross sectional area (5 cm by 10 cm) of the flow field in the absence of clusters.

متن کاملShock-induced mixing of nonhomogeneous density turbulent jets
An experimental study of the mixing enhancement and changes in flow structure arising from the interaction of weak normal shock waves with turbulent jets was conducted. The experimental configuration was an axisymmetric jet processed by weak normal shock waves propagating in a shock tube along the jet axis. Experiments involved three different jet gases: helium, air, and carbon dioxide, each in...
متن کاملShock-induced mixing of a light-gas cylinder
Experiments have been carried out to quantify the mixing induced by the interaction of a weak shock wave with a cylindrical volume of a gas (helium) that is lighter than its surroundings (air). In these experiments a round laminar jet was used to produce the light-gas cylinder, and planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) , utilizing a fluorescent tracer (biacetyl) mixed with the helium, was us...
