High Resolution Measurements of Supersonic Shear Flow Mixing and Combustion
Abstract
An initial experimental study of the effects of compressibility on the outer variable scalings and large-scale structure of a supersonic coflowing turbulent jet operating in the wake-like mode was completed. The results showed that the large-scale structure is clearly evident in the downstream portion of the flow, where the convective Mach number has become subsonic. However the structures appear to be suppressed in the upstream portion of the flow, at supersonic convective Mach numbers. The results also showed that the local flow width and growth rate in the downstream portions of the flow are good in agreement with the scaling laws for the corresponding incompressible flow.
