Abstract. The motion of seeding particles as used in laser Doppler anemometry is investigated in the presence of a large velocity gradient across aerodynamic shocks under different flow conditions. Experimentally obtained results are presented and compared with theoretical predictions based upon the size distribution of the seeding particles used. It is found that the agreement of experimental and theoretical results depends on the flow conditions as well as on the particle material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
