Particle image velocimetry in the crossplane of a supersonic jet in subsonic compressible crossflow.
A particle image velocimetry instrument has been constructed for a transonic wind tunnel and applied to study the interaction created by a supersonic axisymmetric jet exhausting from a flat plate into a subsonic compressible crossflow. Data have been acquired in two configurations; one is a two-dimensional measurement on the streamwise plane along the wind tunnel centerline, and the other is a stereoscopic measurement in the crossplane of the interaction. The presence of the induced counter-rotating vortex pair is clearly visible in both data sets. The streamwise-plane data determined the strength and location of the vortices using the vertical velocity component while the crossplane data directly provided a measurement of the vortical motion. A comparison of the vertical velocity component measured using each configuration showed reasonable agreement.
