Error analysis of supersonic air-to-air ejector schlieren pictures
Technical University of Liberec, Department of Power Engineering, Studentská 2, 46017 Liberec, Czech Rep
The scope of this article is focused on general analysis of errors and uncertainties possibly arising from CFD-to-schlieren pictures matching. Analysis is based on classic analytical equations. These are firstly evaluated with the presumption of constant density gradient along the ray course. In other words, the deflection of light-ray caused by density gradient is negligible in compare to the cross size of constant gradient area. It is the aim of this work to determine, whether this presumption is applicable in case of supersonic air-to-air ejector. The colour and black and white schlieren pictures are carried out and compared to CFD results. Simulations had covered various eddy viscosities. Computed pressure gradients are transformed into deflection angles and further to ray displacement. Resulting computed light- ray deflection is matched to experimental results
