Experimental Study of Transition in a Compressible Free Shear Layer

Abstract: well with numerical methods. The transition and laminar flow theories are then joined to design an experiment aimed at producing non-equilibrium flows in a supersonic wind-tunnel, and at detecting the transition zone in such a flow. Flow and transition measurements done in this layer show that the shear-layer transition Reynolds number, based on the layer thickness and the fast-side unit Reynolds number, agrees with the corresponding number found by the equilibrium transition theory within 25%. It is concluded… Show more

“…The depressed growth rate of the two-dimensional Kelvin-Helmholtz disturbances, discussed in the previous section, may well alter the environment in which the three-dimensional motions develop, which are vital for the large interfacial area generation (see also Refs. [88][89][90]. At higher convective Mach numbers, shocks can certainly be expected to play an important role in this process.…”

“…Exceptions, to our knowledge, are experiments done by Demetriades & Bower (1982), Sanderson & Steel (1970) This would provide a useful test of the intrinsic Mach number concept. In addition, we wanted to study the effects of a larger variation of the parameter p1/ p1 than that afforded by the typical jet experiment of a single gas and with all total temperatures at room values.…”
