description | The design of a supersonic-supersonic mixing layer facility was motivated by the need for a benchmark experimental platform to study the physical phenomena underlying supersonic mixing layers. The facility is an intermittent blowdown wind tunnel characterized by a two-stream design separated by a splitter plate in the middle of the nozzle. The splitter plate ends exactly at the start of the mixing layer test section. The Mach number of the primary stream is M<sub>1</sub> = 3 for all nozzles and the secondary streams are M<sub>2</sub> = 2, 2.5, and 2.9 to generate different convective Mach numbers of Mc = 0.25, 0.10, and 0.01, respectively. The facility was calibrated by pressure measurements to verify the Mach number and the pressure distribution in the streamwise direction. Large-eddy simulation (LES) was performed to illustrate a full view of the turbulent compressible mixing layer flow field and to compare this against the experimental data. Optical diagnosis measurements, i.e., femtosecond laser-induced electronic excitation tagging velocimetry (FLEET) for velocity measurement and focused laser differential interferometer (FLDI) for the density fluctuation, were also performed on the facility. |
