DOWNLOAD EBOOKA test was conducted to obtain nonintrusive measurements in the flow field about an axisymmetric nozzle afterbody with a cold, underexpanded jet, M sub j=1.563, in a parallel free stream, M sub alpha = 0.6. Reynolds shear stress and two components of mean velocity and turbulence intensity were measured using a two-color Bragg-diffracted laser Doppler velocimeter. Additional experimental data include the afterbody surface pressure distribution and laser vapor screen flow visualization of the jet plume. A multiple seeding technique was used to investigate the bimodal velocity probability distributions observed in the jet mixing region. (Author).
