Single-Camera Three-Dimensional Velocity Measurement of a Fin-Generated Shock-Wave/Boundary-Layer Interaction

What is it about?

Plenoptic PIV, a 3D imaging technique that uses a single camera is employed to obtain 3D velocity data for a shock-wave/boundary-layer interaction (SBLI) that has been primarily studied using 2D or quasi-2D techniques. The plenoptic imaging allowed for the visualization of flow topology that has previously not been able to be examined. This work represents the first application of this imaging technique in supersonic flow, as well as the first 3D velocity measurements for this type of SBLI.
