Abstract
- Underexpanded, cryogenic hydrogen and methane jets were measured using laser Raman scattering diagnostic. The jets were released from 1 mm to 1.25 mm orifices for the stagnation pressure ranges of 2–6 bar and temperature ranges of 37–46 K (hydrogen) and 112–189 K (methane). Raman signals are inherently small, thus a denoising algorithm was developed to substantially reduce the noise hindering the statistical analysis of the data. The time-averaged concentration and temperature data were plotted to show a hyperbolic decay law along the jet centerline and a Gaussian distribution in the radial direction. The concentration fluctuations of the cryogenic jets are similar to those of warm jets, the centerline RMS mass fraction decays similarly to the mean mass fraction, and the highest radial concentration fluctuations appear in the shear layer. Thus, the self-similar characteristics of the cryogenic jets are comparable with room-temperature jets for the present test conditions. • Data denoising algorithm was developed for the cryogenic H 2 and CH 4 jets. • Time-averaged and fluctuating behaviors of the cryogenic jets were analyzed. • The self-similarity of the cryogenic jets was comparable with the warm jets.
