A Preliminary Review in the Application of Hot-Wire Anemometry to the Study of Repeated Shock Waves
Abstract
The feasibility of using a hot-wire anemometer as a means of examining the complex flow field associated with repeated plane shock waves in a shock tube is investigated. The limitations inherent in this study and the variables that must be accounted for are considered. A criterion is established for the determination of the presence of significant acoustical streaming. A method for measuring peak alternating velocities is postulated. Experimental results show good agreement with theory except for the alternating boundary layer which is apparently not an example of simple shear flow.
