Particle Relaxation Distances Downstream of Normal and Oblique Shocks

Abstract

A particle equation of motion is coupled with ideal, inviscid shock theory to predict the dynamic velocity bias of laser velocimetry seed within these flow regions. Dimensionless graphs of relaxation distances are presented as an aid for experimental design and data evaluation efforts.
