Survey of Instrumentation Applicable to the Study of Rocket Exhaust Plumes

Abstract

A review of measuring techniques and instrumentation which may be of use in the study of rocket exhaust plumes is presented in a twofold manner. The most practical techniques which have proven successful through actual application in rocket exhaust studies or related environments are treated in an integrated fashion within a plume analysis framework. An additional descriptive collection of appropriate techniques and instrumentation have been compiled into an appendix. The report is organized around those measurements considered most important: temperature, pressure, density, and velocity.
