Novel diagnostics for HIPRO and transition campaigns

Abstract

This project aims to develop new classes of diagnostics (molecular- and/or particles-based) to instrument a series of in-situ experimental campaigns for a 6:1 prolate spheroid. The campaigns consist of a laminar to turbulent boundary layer transition at the US Naval Academy followed by a high-Reynolds number specimen at the NAVSEA Large Cavitation Channel. The data are indented for validation, as well as phenomelogical description of aspects of separation and transition. They will inspire the development of the next generation of numerical codes. This sets a wide set of requirements, which forces the development of novel diagnostics. The novel diagnostics will be based on the latest development in applied optics, computational imaging, optical fiber delivery of high power lasers, and new development in molecular tagging velocimetry.
