Instabilities generated in Mach-6 quiet flow about an axisymmetric cone-cylinder-flare
geometry with a 5∘ half-angle sharp cone were studied in the Boeing/AFOSR Mach-6 Quiet …

Focused laser differential interferometry (FLDI) and its relative two-point FLDI (2pFLDI) are
used to make density fluctuation and velocity measurements, respectively, in a canonical …

The effect of turbulent wind-tunnel-wall<? TeX 2pc 0pt?> boundary layers on density change
measurements obtained with focused laser differential interferometry (FLDI) was studied …

Focused laser differential interferometry (FLDI), first introduced in the 1970s, has developed
into a powerful tool for the analysis of turbulent dynamics and fluctuations in fluid flows …

A focused laser differential interferometer (FLDI) is experimentally characterized via static
and dynamic benchtop testing. The static response is probed using a steady, laminar helium …

An axisymmetric sharp cone-cylinder-flare model was tested in the Boeing/AFOSR Mach 6
Quiet Tunnel (BAM6QT) at 0.0-degree angle of attack. Heat transfer and surface-pressure …

A multi-point focused laser differential interferometer (FLDI) has been developed to measure
density fluctuations at 16 points along a line. A pair of cylindrical lenses on the transmitter …

In this work, a model of focused laser differential interferometry (FLDI) is derived by
incorporating the local intensity of each beam in an FLDI beam pair. We rederive some …

A unique focused laser differential interferometry (FLDI) configuration designed to work with
contoured windows was developed for use with the Boeing/US Air Force Office of Scientific …

This study presents the experimental characterization of instability waves upon a hypersonic
laminar boundary layer of a flared-cone model using a nonintrusive optical diagnostic [that …
