Development and Application of Oxygen Flow Tagging for Velocity Measurements and Flow Visualization in Turbulent Three-Dimensional Supersonic Flows.

Abstract

During this first year, research has concentrated on the acquisition of laser systems and the construction of our test facility. We have achieved two major research milestones: the demonstration of velocity tagging, and the demonstration of the simultaneous measurement of two-dimensional temperature and pressure fields. We are currently studying the nonlinear effects associated with high intensity laser fields with a particular interest in how they affect the measurements of flow properties. Keywords: Flow diagnostics; Velocity measurements; Temperature measurements; Density measurements; Laser diagnostics; Supersonic flows; Turbulent three dimensional flow.
