Outline
• Motivation
• Turbulence and thermal non-equilibrium (TNE) – Stationary and decaying flows
– Diagnostic Development in TNE
• Turbulence and mechanical non-equilibrium (MNE) – Shock-turbulence interactions
AEROSPACE ENGINEERING & CHEMISTRY TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY
Turbulence-TNE interaction: motivation
• Only few studies: clear link between internal molecular structure and turbulence processes
• But coupling is insufficiently understood (e.g. to affect control)
• Improving understanding and modeling of these mechanisms are scientific challenges that can lead to new opportunities to extract fluid energy

Turbulence + TNE/MNE
• Long term objective: Control of turbulence across the spectrum via TNE and MNE – Vibrational modes: large-scale prod/diss
(Fuller etal JFM 2014)
– Rotational modes: small-scale dissipation (numerical study, Liao etal PRE 2010)
– MNE: shock-turbulence interactions (Donzis PoF 2012a,b, IUTAM 2013; Bowersox 2013)
• Quantify and understand turbulence response to TNE and MNE in canonical flows: – decaying/stationary homogeneous – shock-turbulence interactions

C6F6: Initial Model System Well-studied energy transfer system (Troe, Flynn, Mullin, Sevy, Mori, and others)
o UV absorption (266 nm)results exclusively in internal conversion to form highly vibrationally excited ground state molecules (Evib~37,000 cm-1)
o Low frequency out-of-plane vibrations is more efficient vibrational energy transfer than C6H6.
o Initial estimates suggest substantial perturbation of high speed cold (30-70K) flows even at modest seed ratios
Establish experimental timescales and magnitude/mode of flow energy following laser excitation of seeded C6F6 (and other molecular systems) as a function of flow temperature and composition o Initial work at 300 K using a static/slow-flow apparatus with future work in pulsed high speed
