Supersonic Pitot measurement in underexpanded jet

[mihir1310]

Have you performed CFD analsis on the free jet problem ? if yes, do you know what boundary conditions you use on the outlet ?

Is the purpose of this video to demonstrate that pitot measurements fundamentally alter the flow geometry within supersonic regimes, hence cannot be used to obtain useful pressure data?

Feel free to comment on some of my instability videos, your opinion would be great.

The flow geometry is essentially altered downstream of the probes, therefore not significantly affecting the measurement at the tip of the probes. What is mostly interesting is to see the reflection of the bow shocks in the mixing layer, as well as their deflection within the jet.

This is a great video! Great work Dr. Veltin
