2019, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA. All rights reserved. A method is presented for measuring pressure and temperature in gaseous flows using Rayleigh scattered light originating from a narrowband 532-nm laser and detected through two iodine cell filters of different vapor pressures. A pair of filtered Rayleigh scattering (FRS) signals from the two cells measured simultaneously uniquely defines the desired parameters at an instant in time. A strategy is given for ensuring that the effect of velocity on the FRS signal is small and can be neglected. Predicted FRS signals are presented for a turbulent flow experiment that may be used for demonstrating the technique.
