This article provides a critical review of aero-optics with an emphasis on recent
developments in computational predictions and the physical mechanisms of flow-induced …

This paper serves as part I of a two-part tutorial on “aero-optical effects.” We first present
background information to assist with our introduction of the topic. Next, we use the …

The screech noise generation process from supersonic underexpanded jets, issuing from a
sonic nozzle at pressure ratios of 2.4 and 3.3 (fully expanded Mach number, Mj= 1.19 and …

This paper gives the most-complete characterization to date of the optical aberrations
imposed on a laser beam propagated through a subsonic, compressible, turbulent boundary …

Compressible large-eddy simulations are carried out to study the aero-optical distortions
caused by Mach 0.5 flat-plate turbulent boundary layers at Reynolds numbers of, 1770 and …

The flow over a circular cylinder at ReD= 3900 and 10000 and M= 0.4 is considered a
platform to study the aero-optical distortions by separated shear layers and turbulent wakes …

Wall-modeled large-eddy simulations of turbulent boundary-layer flows over a flat plate at
Mach 3.5, 7.87, and 13.64 were carried out, and the aero-optical distortions resulting from …

Incompressible large eddy simulations of dual purging jets at three Reynolds numbers of Re
L= 1500, 1000, and 500 are performed, providing the database for simulated interferometric …

This paper serves as part II of a two-part tutorial on “aero-optical effects.” In part I, we provide
introductory material with an emphasis on system-level considerations, particularly for those …

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 …
