Pressure-based real-time measurements in compressible free shear layersA preliminary experimental study has been conducted to gain insight into the temporal and spatial contents of largescale structures in a convective Mach number = 0.51 high Reynolds number planar two-dimensional compressible free shear layer. Power spectra, coherence, and space-time correlations were obtained using single- and two-point pressure measurements. Both developing and fully developed regions of the flow were investigated. The passage frequency of structures were found to be 10-15 kHz in the developing region and 4-8 kHz in the fully developed region. The convective velocity obtained from the space-time correlation in the middle of the shear layer was close to the theoretical value but varied toward the edge of the shear layer. The structures were shown to be surprisingly three-dimensional even in this low compressibility level shear layer. The structures size and spacing were also determined and discussed.
