Spatially localized, shock-wave-induced continuous and very fast mixing between gases and liquid in parallel flow /An experimental study/

Shock-wave-induced patterns and turbulent supersonic shear flows over a stagnant bubble were determined for cases where recirculation and final mixing occurred within a very short time and within a distance of about 1 cm. The effect of a shock wave upon stratified laminas of gases in a shock tube was studied for a series of gases of different densities and molecular weights. Steady-state mixing of gas streams were investigated in wind tunnel experiments by means of a chemiluminescent reaction. Shock-wave-induced mixing which involves the introduction of a liquid jet into a supersonic gas stream is also described.
