Spatial Coherence Of Low-Frequency Unsteadiness Associated With A Normal Shock Wave, Matthew Cox, Phillip M. Ligrani, Kyle Goethals May 2021

Spatial Coherence Of Low-Frequency Unsteadiness Associated With A Normal Shock Wave, Matthew Cox, Phillip M. Ligrani, Kyle Goethals

PRC-Affiliated Research

The present data illustrate a unique analysis approach to explore the physics of shock-wave-flow interactions, based upon correlation and spectral analysis of digitized shadowgraph visualization time-sequence data. As such, demonstration is provided of the use of high resolution, flow visualization data for quantitative correlation and spectral analysis. A shadowgraph system is employed to visualize time-varying, shock wave flow features within the test section of one leg of the transonic/supersonic wind tunnel (which is also referred to as the SS/TS/WT or SuperSonic/TranSonic/WindTunnel), located within the Propulsion Research Center of the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Of interest is a flow field …
