Film Study of High-Velocity Gas Flow Phenomena
High-speed motion pictures are used to study various high-velocity flow phenomena in Rutgers University's supersonic wind tunnel. Specialized equipment is used to transmit and reflect light rays to the camera lens. Due to density gradients in the air flow, the light rays form an image in which both shock waves and boundary layers can be seen in color or black-and-white. These techniques are useful in studying shock formation, transonic flow and unsteady supersonic flow over various missile cone and airplane wing models.
