Description

This study utilizes an optically accessible shock tube to emulate supersonic flow conditions for the purpose of a novel optical diagnostic development. A simple conical cone is used to develop a methodology to acquire full-field, quantitative scalar measurements in the boundary layer via Rainbow Schlieren Deflectometry (RSD). RSD will be implemented for the first time to record quantitative full-field density and pressure measurements inside the boundary layer. A parametric study is performed to investigate the full-field evolution of the density and pressure fields under the effects of Mach number. The results of this study will be validated with pressure probe data gathered from within the shock tube.
