Abstract
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 generated through a converging-diverging nozzle with a 25.4 mm by 230 mm wide throat area. A one-millimeter injector with ethanol seeding provides the liquid injection. Injector characteristics and losses are quantified through a calibrated cavitating venturi. Momentum flux ratios ranged from 0.1 to 20, and Reynolds number scaled by the injector diameter ranged from 5000 to 40,000. A shadowgraph setup with a telecentric lens provides uniform magnification for precise and repeatable measurements from injection to 150 mm downstream of the jet. A Phantom v2012 camera with a frame rate of 20 kHz and shutter time of 285 ns was employed. Light transmittance is defined and calculated for each image pixel with a ratio method paired with no-spray images collected immediately before injection. These values are then related to an attenuation coefficient by incorporating spray width profiles collected with cross-sectional Mie-scatter imaging at multiple axial locations with a burst mode laser.
