This article provides a critical review of aero-optics with an emphasis on recent
developments in computational predictions and the physical mechanisms of flow-induced …

The field of aero-optics is devoted to the study of the effects of turbulent flow fields on laser
beams projected from airborne laser systems. This article reviews the early and present …

In the transonic flow over a hemisphere-on-cylinder turret, strong aero-optical effects can be
caused by local shock/boundary-layer interactions and separation shear layers at the turret's …

Improved delayed detached eddy simulation is performed to investigate aero-optical
distortions induced by Mach 0.5 flow over a cylindrical turret with a flat window at a Reynolds …

This paper presents the results of the study of surface flow topology over a hemisphere
using time-resolved oil flow visualization at a range of Mach numbers between 0.2 and 0.7 …

CURRENT research efforts are aimed at placing laser-based systems on aircraft to augment
their offensive and defensive capabilities. Unfortunately, propagating a beam through the …

Controlled concentrations of trapped vorticity within an offset, subsonic (M AIP≤ 0.7) diffuser
are explored for active suppression of flow distortion in joint experimental and numerical …

Particle image velocimetry measurements have been conducted for a Mach 0.8 flow over a
wall-mounted hemisphere with a strongly separated wake. The shock foot was found to …
