Abstract

This paper describes an experimental investigation of the effects of mean compressibility on the structure and the decay characteristics of grid turbulence. The experiments comprise laser Doppler velocimetry measurements of an approximately homogeneous, isotropic turbulence field in subsonic compressible flow, with the Mach number ranging from 0.15 to 0.7. The results reveal that the turbulence intensity and decay characteristics are influenced by mean compressibility. Experience with the high subsonic and supersonic regimes is also reported.
