Formation and evolution of turbulence in a strongly underexpanded supersonic jet
Abstract
Results of an experimental study of the evolution of flow at the boundary of a supersonic jet at Reynolds numbers corresponding to the laminar-turbulent transition are reported. Coherent structure associated with such flows are identified, and their evolution is discussed. The discussion also includes a description of the laser-based remote diagnostic equipment and methods used in the study.
