SINGLE LOBE RIG (SLR)

The above rectangular nozzle configuration (left side of photograph with glass window) uses high-pressure air to deliver supersonic flows. This model is located in The University of Mississippi’s National Center for Physical Acoustics (NCPA).

The glass window facilitates experimentation using optical techniques such as Particle Image Velocimetry and Schlieren. The flow can be heated to elevated temperatures (~1500oF) using propane as the combustion fuel. The SLR is useful because it allows the study of high speed, high temperature dynamical phenomena associated with compressible turbulence.
