AERO-OPTICS is the study of the interaction between light and air. More specifically, it is the
study and measurement of the distortion of light propagating through an index of refraction …

In the past two decades, the level set concept has been extensively explored. The
superiority of the differential level set to other more ad hoc methods as a formal framework …

This work presents the application of an implicit large-eddy simulation (ILES) approach for
the evaluation of aero-optical distortion in compressible turbulent flows. Flow fields are …

The existing methods for measuring aero-optical aberration suffer from several problems,
such as low spatiotemporal resolution, sensitivity to environment, and integral effects. A new …

Analytical criteria are developed to estimate the error of aero-optical computations due to
inadequate spatial resolution of refractive index fields in high Reynolds number flow …

This work examines the origin of aero-optical aberration in weakly-compressible laminar,
transitional and turbulent shear layers employing a high-fidelity numerical simulation …

The free-space propagation of initially aberrated optical beams is considered with an
emphasis on aero-optical applications. An exact statistical solution of the paraxial wave …
