Developments in Laser-Based Diagnostics for Wind Tunnels in the Aeromechanics Division: 1987-1992

Abstract

The Aero-Diagnostics Research Section of the Aeromechanics Division develops and advances laser-based diagnostic techniques for use in a variety of subsonic through hypersonic wind tunnel facilities. These include laser velocimetry, laser induced fluorescence, Rayleigh scattering, phase shift holographic interferometry, and chemiluminescence. The purpose of this report is to bring the reader up to date on the status of these and other techniques under development in the Aeromechanics Division at the Wright Laboratory
