Abstract Acetone-based Molecular Tagging Velocimetry (MTV) is demonstrated in high sub-sonic and supersonic (Mach 1.8) nitrogen and air free jets produced by nozzles with exit dimensions of order 1 mm. Measurements are performed in the static pressure range 1–110 torr, with spatial resolution of approximately 10 microns. The statistical uncertainty (2σ) in velocity is found to be of order 6–10 m/sec, approximately independent of flow field pressure. Spectral emission scans indicate that under some circumstances, the CH radical is formed in the flow, which is believed to be the primary light emitting species in air flows.

The present study addresses experimental investigations of the near-field flow structures of an underexpanded sonic, dual, coaxial, swirl jet. The swirl stream is discharged from the secondary annular nozzle and the primary inner nozzle provides the underexpanded free jets. The interactions between the secondary swirl and primary underexpanded jets are quantified by a fine pitot impact and static pressure measurements and are visualized using a shadowgraph optical method. The pressure ratios of the secondary swirl and primary underexpanded jets are varied below 7.0. Experiments are conducted to investigate the effects of the secondary swirl stream on the primary underexpanded jets, compared with the secondary stream of no swirl. The results show that the presence of an annular swirl stream causes the Mach disc to move further downstream, with an increased diameter, and remarkably reduces the fluctuations of the impact pressures in the underexpanded sonic dual coaxial jet, compared with the case of the secondary annular stream with no swirl.

Long-lasting emission from femtosecond excitation of nitrogen-based flows shows promise as a useful mechanism for a molecular tagging velocimetry instrument. The technique, known as femtosecond laser electronic excitation tagging (FLEET), was invented at Princeton a decade ago and has quickly been adopted and used in a variety of high-speed ground test flow facilities. The short temporal scales offered by femtosecond amplifiers permit nonresonant multiphoton excitation, dissociation, and weak ionization of a gaseous medium near the beam's focus without the generation of a laser spark observed with nanosecond systems. Gated, intensified imaging of the resulting emission enables the tracking of tagged molecules, thereby measuring one to three components of velocity. Effects of local heating and acoustic disturbances can be mitigated with the selection of a shorter-wavelength excitation source. This review surveys the development of FLEET over the decade since its inception, as it has been implemented in several test facilities to make accurate, precise, and seedless velocimetry measurements for studying complex high-speed flows.
