This $200,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research at the University of Missouri System's Missouri University of Science & Technology to investigate compressibility effects on turbulence production in supersonic flows. The goal is to improve understanding of the mixing process in supersonic combustors for hypersonic flight applications. The project will utilize two-point focused laser differential interferometry to directly measure density and velocity fluctuations in a Mach 3 supersonic flow, with the aim of experimentally verifying the validity of the strong Reynolds analogy for unbounded supersonic mixing flows. This research is expected to provide crucial insights to facilitate the design of more efficient supersonic combustors, a key technology for advancing hypersonic flight capabilities. The award also includes plans to support STEM outreach and workforce development in the field of hypersonics through a summer camp and incorporation of the research findings into a graduate-level turbulence course.
