An Investigation of Turbulent Mixing in the Chemical Laser Using Holographic Imagery.

Abstract

An investigation was conducted to determine the mixing characteristics in Chemical laser systems using a holographic flow field diagnostic network. Cold flow simulation was done using a variety of nozzles in an effort to uncover the effects of geometry, flow conditions and gas mixture combinations on the mixing of high speed parallel jets.
