Abstract
Femtosecond laser electronic excitation tagging (FLEET) is a powerful unseeded velocimetry technique typically used to measure one component of velocity along a line, or two or three components from a dot. In this Letter, we demonstrate a dotted-line FLEET technique which combines the dense profile capability of a line with the ability to perform two-component velocimetry with a single camera on a dot. Our set-up uses a single beam path to create multiple simultaneous spots, more than previously achieved in other FLEET spot configurations. We perform dotted-line FLEET measurements downstream of a highly turbulent, supersonic nitrogen free jet. Dotted-line FLEET is created by focusing light transmitted by a periodic mask with rectangular slits of 1.6 × 40 mm2 and an edge-to-edge spacing of 0.5 mm, then focusing the imaged light at the measurement region. Up to seven symmetric dots spaced approximately 0.9 mm apart, with mean full-width at half maximum diameters between 150 and 350 µm, are simultaneously imaged. Both streamwise and radial velocities are computed and presented in this Letter.
