Instantaneous Velocity Profiles of Wall-Bounded Shear Flows in Thermochemical Non-Equilibrium

Abstract

The overall objective of the proposed work is quantify instantaneous profiles of velocity in the freestream and the boundary layer of hypervelocity flows which will enable researchers to more accurately assess critical quantities such as skin friction and heat transfer. The novel optical diagnostic krypton tagging velocimetry (KTV) will be used as the method to achieve this overall objective. The three main research objectives/tasks of the proposed work are:1): Establish the parameter space in which KTV can be used in high-enthalpy environments; 2) Provide supporting velocimetry data for computational studies of shock wave/turbulent boundary-layer interaction at hypervelocity; 3) Provide first profiles of velocity on a double-cone at high-enthalpy hypersonic conditions and reduce the uncertainty in run condition calculation in high-enthalpy facilities.
