This Handbook consolidates authoritative and state-of-the-art information from the large
number of disciplines used in Experimental Fluid Mechanics into a readable desk reference …

The extension of particle image velocimetry to supersonic and hypersonic wind-tunnel flows
has been achieved in the last decade. This was mainly possible with the advent of short …

A model to explain the low-frequency unsteadiness found in shock-induced separation is
proposed for cases in which the flow is reattaching downstream. It is based on the properties …

Compressibility, Turbulence and High Speed Flow introduces the reader to the field of
compressible turbulence and compressible turbulent flows across a broad speed range …

The experimental approach used for the evaluation of the particle response time across a
stationary shock wave is assessed by means of PIV measurements. The study focuses on …

THE effect of a planar shock impinging on a turbulent boundary layer establishes one of the
classic interaction phenomena in compressible viscous flow analysis. This particular form of …

The structure of a screeching axisymmetric jet in the helical C mode at a nozzle pressure
ratio of 3.4 issuing from a convergent nozzle is studied using high-resolution particle image …

High resolution planar particle image velocimetry is used to measure turbulent quantities in
the region downstream of the Mach disk in an axisymmetric underexpanded jet issuing from …

The dynamic drag coefficient of a sphere by shock wave loading is investigated numerically
and experimentally. The diameter of the sphere is varied from 8 μ m to 80 mm in numerical …

Two-dimensional numerical simulations with Eulerian–Lagrangian method are conducted to
study propagation and extinction of stoichiometric hydrogen/air detonations in fine water …
