Schlieren and shadowgraph techniques are used around the world for imaging and
measuring phenomena in transparent media. These optical methods originated long ago in …

Recent advances in ultra-high repetition rate (100 kHz and above) laser diagnostics for fluid
dynamic measurements are reviewed. The development of the pulse burst laser system …

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

A study of the shock-wave/boundary-layer interaction induced by a compression ramp was
carried out using high-fidelity simulations. The objective was to investigate the influence of …

A single-pixel ensemble correlation method was applied to the schlieren and shadowgraph
image velocimetry (SIV) and a velocimetry method that can obtain the convection velocity …

Free shear layers are building blocks of many flows of interest in applications, including jets,
cavity flows, and separated flows. It was found several decades ago that free shear layers …

Selective two-photon absorptive resonance femtosecond-laser electronic-excitation tagging
(STARFLEET), a nonseeded ultrafast-laser-based velocimetry technique, is demonstrated in …

A class of plasma actuators called localized arc filament plasma actuators for high-speed
and high-Reynoldsnumber flow and acoustic control has been developed at the Gas …

In the last several decades, Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) has reached a high degree of
maturity as a laser diagnostic technique based on tracer particles, with significant …
