High-resolution PIV analysis of compressibility effects in turbulent jets

An investigation on the compressibility effects arising into the near field of turbulent jets operated at high Reynolds number at Mach numbers M=0.3, 0.9 and 1.1 (under-expanded regime) is carried out with two-components planar PIV experiments with high resolution cameras. The arrangement of the PIV system allows for mapping out the flow field...

3D organization of high-speed compressible jets by tomographic PIV

This work investigates the three dimensional organization of compressible jets at high-speed regime by tomographic particle image velocimetry (TOMO PIV). Experiments are conducted at Mach numbers 0.3, 0.9 and 1.1 (underexpanded regime) across the end of the potential core within a large cylindrical domain (1.6Dx8D, with D=22mm the jet diameter)....

Three-dimensional vortex analysis and aeroacoustic source characterization of jet core breakdown

The three-dimensional behavior of jet core breakdown is investigated with experiments conducted on a free water jet at Re = 5000 by time-resolved tomographic particle image velocimetry (TR-TOMO PIV). The investigated domain encompasses the range between 0 and 10 jet diameters. The characteristic pulsatile motion of vortex ring shedding and...

Decomposition of time-resolved tomographic PIV

An experimental study has been conducted on a transitional water jet at a Reynolds number of Re = 5,000. Flow fields have been obtained by means of time-resolved tomographic particle image velocimetry capturing all relevant spatial and temporal scales. The measured threedimensional flow fields have then been postprocessed by the dynamic mode...

Three-dimensional evolution of flow structures in transitional circular and chevron jets

The three-dimensional behavior of flow transition in circular and 6-chevron jets at Re?=?5000 is investigated with experiments conducted on a free water jet by time-resolved tomographic particle image velocimetry. The emphasis is on the unsteady organization of coherent flow structures, which play a role in the generation of acoustic noise....

Lagrangian and Eulerian pressure field evaluation of rod-airfoil flow from time-resolved tomographic PIV

This work investigates the rod-airfoil air flow by time-resolved Tomographic Particle Image Velocimetry (TR-TOMO PIV) in thin-light volume configuration. Experiments are performed at the region close to the leading edge of a NACA0012 airfoil embedded in the von Karman wake of a cylindrical rod. The 3D velocity field measured at 5 kHz is used to...

Application of Powell's analogy for the prediction of vortex-pairing sound in a low-Mach number jet based on time-resolved planar and tomographic PIV

This paper describes an experimental investigation by time-resolved planar and tomographic PIV on the sound production mechanism of vortex pairing of a transitional water-jet flow at Re=5000. The shear layer is characterized by axisymmetric vortex rings which undergo pairing with a varicose mode. Three-dimensional measurements show the presence...

On the suitability of direct application of acoustic theory to time-resolved tomographic PIV tested by DNS for low Mach number jet flows

In this paper, we investigate the minimum temporal requirements, spatial domain and spatial resolution requirements in order to make acoustic predictions by means of acoustic analogies, for low speed jet flows, by means of numerical simulations. This work is done to demonstrate the feasibility of indirect acoustic extrapolation from recent...

Characterization of noise sources in a rod-airfoil configuration by means of Time-Resolved Tomographic PIV

Time-resolved Tomographic PIV was used to characterize the flow around the leading edge of a NACA 0012 airfoil in rod-airfoil configuration at ReD = 3500. The volumetric approach at relatively high temporal resolution allows the measurement of the evolution of the 3D vortical structures constituting the Karman wake of the rod at interaction with...
