Abstract

The results of experimental researches of intensity fluctuations of a laser beam propagating through a supersonic flooded jet are presented. The laser beam propagates across the jet at various distances from a Vitoshinskii nozzle. The experiment was carried out in an Eiffel chamber at pressure ratios from 1.7 to 7 at two modes of the outflow of the jet: with the use of chevrons on the outlet nozzle and without chevrons. Dependencies of the dispersion and fluctuation spectra on pressure and distances from the nozzle are determined. The inner scale of turbulence is estimated.
