Abstract:A variety of active flow control (AFC) methods are typically used in low-speed applications; however, the AFC techniques that are available for high-speed, supersonic applications are very limited. Under AFOSR (Air Force Research Laboratory) sponsorship, The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) is investigating a device that is intended for high-speed flow control; it is called the SparkJet actuator, which manipulates high-speed flows without active mechanical components. To date, actuator characterization has included computational and experimental techniques including parametric studies and flow visualization techniques to investigate the operation of the SparkJet device under various conditions. This paper focuses on the experimental flow measurement techniques that have been implemented. The results will be used for validating prospective computational studies that investigate the detailed characteristics of the SparkJet’s discharge and cooling stages after an energy deposition pulse. Current efforts include the use of high- resolution particle image velocimetry (PIV) to quantify the quiescent air operation of a single SparkJet pulse. However, the proper seeding of the SparkJet cavity continues to be challenging and has led to the use of digital speckle tomography (DST) to measure the temperature distribution in the core of the SparkJet plume. In this study, improved PIV techniques were used to acquire a higher-resolution image of the SparkJet-entrained flow. These PIV results show that the peak velocity in the entrained flow is around 53 m/s and the plume is sustained for 75–100 μs. Additionally, the DST data show a peak temperature of 1616.3 K at 75 μs and provide supporting information for interpreting the PIV data. These results are intended to calibrate and build confidence in a computational model.
