Pressure Sensitive Paint Measurements at High Mach Numbers

چکیده
Depending on the case study examined, different PSPs may be used, each applied using a different method onto the model. For polymer PSP the paint is sprayed on. In contrast, the model may first be anodized or covered with a thin-layer chromatography plate and then dipped in PSP. The objective of the present study is to analyse the characteristics of different PSP substrates at high Mach numbers which use two well known PSP molecules: (i) tris-Bathophenanthroline Ruthenium (II) Perchlorate and (ii) Platinum-tetrakis (pentafluorophenyl) Porphyrin. Using a double ramp geometry under a Mach 5 hypersonic flow the feasibility of applying each of the aforementioned PSP methods is investigated and compared to discrete pressure measurements. The flow over a 3D bump under a Mach 1.3 flow is also studied to give a broader Mach number range. In the hypersonic tunnel, all PSP techniques and formulations were able to capture the complex flowfield with the results quantitatively agreeing with the discrete measurements. For the transonic bumps however, it was found that the polymer based Platinum PSP could map the flowfield more accurately.

Pressure-Sensitive Paint Measurements of Transient Shock Phenomena
Measurements of the global pressure field created by shock wave diffraction have been captured optically using a porous pressure-sensitive paint. The pressure field created by a diffracting shock wave shows large increases and decreases in pressure and can be reasonably accurately captured using CFD. The substrate, a thin-layer chromatography (TLC) plate, has been dipped in a luminophore soluti...

This article reports the active control of base flows using the experimental procedure. Active control of base pressure helps in reducing the base drag in aerodynamic devices having suddenly expanded flows. Active control in the form of microjets having 0.5 mm radius placed at forty-five degrees apart is employed to control the base pressure. The Mach numbers of the present analysis are 1.7, 2....

An in-house Pressure Sensitive Paint (PSP) formulation has been developed at the Aero-Physics Laboratory at the University of Manchester. The PSP uses Bathophenanthroline Ruthenium as the luminophore molecule and is incorporated in a sol-gel matrix. Excitation occurs at 400-500 nm and emission at 550-650 nm. The Stern-Volmer plot of the PSP reveals small temperature dependence, which has always...

An experimental study was performed to examine effects of compressibility on film cooling effectiveness for coolant flowing from cylindrical holes in a flat plate. The incoming flow Mach number was set at 0.07, 0.30, 0.50 and 0.70. The Pressure Sensitive Paint (PSP) technique, which is based on a mass transfer analogy, was used to map the adiabatic film cooling effectiveness distribution on the...
