The increasing need for thermal comfort has led to a rapid increase in the use of cooling
systems and, consequently, electricity demand for air-conditioning systems in buildings …

The extension of particle image velocimetry to supersonic and hypersonic wind-tunnel flows
has been achieved in the last decade. This was mainly possible with the advent of short …

A good understanding of turbulent compressible flows is essential to the design and
operation of high-speed vehicles. Such flows occur, for example, in the external flow over …

Experiments were conducted in a two-stream planar mixing layer at convective Mach
numbers, Mc, of 0.28, 0.42, 0.50, 0.62 and 0.79. Planar laser Mie scattering (PLMS) from a …

A strong, naturally-occurring “growl” combustion instability was studied for the case of a lean
premixed prevaporized (LPP) combustor that shows great promise in reducing pollutant …

This work quantifies several sources of unsteadiness that exist within a lean premixed
prevaporized gas turbine combustor that was operated at elevated pressures using Jet-A …

Nomenclature ai= sound speed in primary stream a2= sound speed in secondary stream C=
transverse collar height CT= thrust coefficient G= counterflow gap height H= short exit …

Two novel supersonic nozzles–Tip Ring Supersonic Nozzle and Elliptic Sharp Tipped
Shallow (ESTS) Lobed Nozzle have been developed to enhance mixing at high speeds …

The problem considered in this work is shock wave (SW) positioning control in shock-
dominated flows. Experiments are conducted to investigate the triggering effect of patterned …

This paper presents flow imaging techniques developed for investigating flow in ejectors.
These visualization techniques use the laser sheet method but differ from each other by the …
