Measurement of particle velocity fields in a strong self-luminous high-speed erosion simulation environment
extreme total temperature and intense self-luminescence of typical particle erosion environments such as in the arc heater
it is difficult to measure the particle velocity field accurately. To address the measurement requirements of particle velocity fields in hypersonic vehicle nose and engine throat erosion
this paper developed a particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique based on high-temperature and strong self-luminescence particles. A narrowband filter was used to achieve spectral separation of particle scattered light
greatly suppressing the self-luminescence generated by the high-temperature airflow of the arc heater
thus images with high signal-to-noise ratio were obtained under high-speed flow. Implementing this technique
PIV measurements were conducted on Al

particles (the average particle size of 20 μm) and graphite particles (the average particle size of 50 μm) across total temperature ranges of 2150–3570 K. The results revealed that: 1) For identical particle materials

and 1527 m/s (3570 K); 2) Despite their larger size
graphite particles achieved higher peak velocity (1539 m/s) attributed to their lower density; 3) Spatial analysis demonstrated near-normal distribution of axial velocity components along the radial (

distinct low-speed shear boundaries (35.5–45 mm span) were observed at the jet periphery
resulting from free atmospheric interaction with arc-heater exhaust flows. Comprehensive comparison of particle velocity and vorticity distributions under varied inflow conditions elucidates jet boundary characteristics
providing quantitative experimental support for precision evaluat
