Multi-line FLEET by imaging periodic masks
Abstract
A simple linear configuration for multi-line FLEET velocimetry is used for the first time to image an overexpanded unsteady supersonic jet. The FLEET lines are spaced 0.5-1.0 mm apart and up to six lines can simultaneously be used to visualize the flowfield. These lines are created using periodic masks, despite the mask blocking 25 — 30% of the 10 mJ incident beam. Maps of mean single-component velocity in the direction along the principal flow axis, and turbulence intensity in that same direction, are created using multi-line FLEET, and computed velocities agree well with that obtained from single-line (traditional) FLEET. Compared to traditional FLEET, multi-line FLEET offers increased simultaneous spatial coverage and the ability to produce spatial correlations in the streamwise direction. This FLEET permutation is especially well-suited for short-duration test facilities
