Abstract

An experimental method for determination of the spatial distribution of gas concentration in millimeter-sized supersonic jets outflowing into vacuum is proposed. This method is based on jet visualization by its illumination with a laser–plasma radiation source and processing of the obtained intensity distribution of the jet glow. The spatial distribution of the jet glow intensity for the visualized jet is measured. The gas concentration distribution in the jet is determined, and the results of experiment are compared with the calculated data obtained by numerical hydrodynamic simulation.
