Abstract: The harnessing of mechanical power from supersonic flows is constrained by physical limitations and substantial aerodynamic losses. Bladeless axial turbines are a viable alternative to extract power in such harsh conditions ...

Abstract: A quantifiable, reproducible, and repeatable definition of the three-dimensional spray width and depth for a canonical jet in an open-source supersonic crossflow is presented. An expanding Mach 2 dry-air crossflow is ...

Abstract: This article evaluates the use of an actively cooled aerodynamic probe body with integrated optics to perform short focal length laser diagnostics within high-temperature, high-supersonic flows. A novel probe with a “ship's ...

Abstract: Supersonic inlet flow is usually considered to be detrimental to the performance of turbine systems. A new class of bladeless turbines was developed, which allows for power extraction from supersonic axial inflows without ...
