Megahertz Schlieren Imaging of Shock Structure and Sound Waves in Under-Expanded, Impinging Jets

Fluid Dynamics 2010-10-18 v1

Abstract

The accompanying fluid dynamics videos visualize the temporal evolution of shock structures and sound waves in and around an under-expanded jet that is impinging on a rigid surface at varying pressure ratios. The recordings were obtained at frame rates of 500 kHz to 1 Mhz using a novel pulsed illumination source based on a high power light emitting diode (LED) which is operated in pulsed current mode synchronized to the camera frame rate.
