Abstract

Employing the nanoparticle-based planar laser scattering (NPLS), supersonic flow over a delta-winged vortex generator on a flat plate was experimentally investigated in a supersonic quiet wind tunnel at Ma = 2.68. The fine structures of the flow field, shock waves, separation vortices, wake, and boundary layer transition were observed in the NPLS images. According to the time-correlation of the NPLS images and the measurement results of particle image velocimetry, the structural model of the flow field was improved further, and coherent wake structures were observed, which is of significance theoretically and in engineering application.
