Abstract
An optical tomography system that is capable of operating at frame rates of up to 5 kHz has been used to obtain spatially resolved cross-sectional temperature images of a heated round jet. These tomographic images show dynamic details in the evolving vortical flow structures found in the near field of the jet that are consistent with previous studies of low speed jet flow. Reconstructions produced by the system are quantitative temperature distributions of a planar cross section of the jet measuring temperature differences with a spatial resolution of 1.4 mm.
