Control of experimental uncertainties in Filtered Rayleigh Scattering measurements Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • 1995 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc. All rights reserved. Filtered Rayleigh Scattering is a technique which allows for measurement of velocity, temperature, and pressure in unseeded flows, spatially resolved in 2-dimensions. We present an overview of the major components of a Filtered Rayleigh Scattering system. In particular, we develop and discuss a detailed theoretical model along with associated model parameters and related uncertainties. Based on this model, we then present experimental results for ambient room air and for a Mach 2 free jet, including spatially resolved measurements of velocity, temperature, and pressure.
