Abstract: Filtered Rayleigh scattering (FRS) is a non-intrusive, laser-based optical technique for measuring three-component velocity, static temperature, and static density with high spatial resolution and low uncertainty. FRS can ...

Abstract: Abstract. A control volume framework is derived to decompose forces produced by a turbofan with special considerations for application to experimental measurements. The rich history of aerodynamic force decomposition is ...

Abstract: Propulsion systems are exposed to environmental ingestion hazards that can cause significant damage and decrease performance. Particles are ingested in a wide range of flight environments that can cause immediate engine ...

Abstract: In recent years, the StreamVane technology has developed into a mature and streamlined process that can reproduce swirl distortion for ground-test evaluation of fan and compressor performance and durability. A StreamVane ...

Abstract: Abstract. This study applies an innovative control volume analysis method combined with filtered Rayleigh scattering (FRS) to perform force measurements in the exhaust flow of a Honeywell TFE731-2 turbofan engine at Virginia ...

Abstract: The use of turning vanes spans multiple engineering disciplines such as aerospace, ocean, and biomedical to effectively turn an otherwise uniform flowfield and achieve desired downstream flow angles. The presented work ...
