Study of axisymmetric underexpanded sonic jets with Mach disks (Density field measurements by rainbow schlieren deflectometry)
The underexpanded sonic here jet issued from an axisymmetric convergent nozzle are experimentally investigated in which the nozzle is operated at a pressure ratio of 4.0 to produce a Mach disk in the jet plume.Multidirectional rainbow schlieren pictures of the jet acquired by rotating the nozzle about its longitudinal axis in equal angular interval
