Abstract

A gas flow visualization facility has been designed and constructed in order to investigate the mixing processes inside of solid ducted rocket secondary combustor. The facility has the capability of monitoring and varying the flow rate through all three inlets of the combustor model. In this experiment particles were seeded in "fuel" flow, and then flow visualization was achieved by illuminating the cross-sectional planes of interest with a laser sheet. Continuous unsteady images were processed in order to gain available steady image which were recorded with CCD camera. In addition pseudo color was used to get satisfied results. Processed image revealed complex mixing patterns within the secondary combustor. Results came from processed image were compared with data obtained from temperature measurement method. It indicates processed results are credible, and this method can be used to investigate mixing in secondary combustor.
