The primary investigation was to determine if mixing of a sonic transverse jet in the side-view plane was correlated to or equal to the mixing in the end-view plane. The analysis was conducted by imaging a sonic jet in a supersonic crossflow at jet momentum ratios of 1.2, 2.7, and 5.2. Because of the difficulty of placing a camera streamwise to a supersonic crossflow to obtain end view images, off axis imaging was carried out. Overall, the jets appear to be more symmetric when injected into the thin boundary layer than in the thick boundary layer. Centerline probability density functions in the end view plane were compared with probability density functions in the side view plane. The probability of finding unmixed fluid at the windward side of the jet was higher than finding unmixed fluid toward the center or near the orifice plane. Different paths other than those that fall on the mid planes were analyzed and compared in the end-view plane. The effect of the boundary layer thickness on the penetration and mixing of the sonic jet in supersonic flow was investigated.
