Abstract

This paper briefly reviews a number of experiments suitable for the screening, development and validation of turbulence models used in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Then, two sets of experiments conducted for this purpose by the authors are presented. The first is a compressible axisymmetric jet in which a central jet of helium mixes with a surrounding coflow of air. The second is a supersonic combustor. Various instrumentation techniques have been employed with the axisymmetric jet, whereas the dual pump coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy technique has been applied to the combustor. Experiences in trying to calculate these flows, and set model constants, are reviewed.
