Characterising unsteady flow processes within turbomachinery and other engines underpins future development of these machines, and probe measurements can make significant contributions to this work. The proposed research involves the development of a unique probe that incorporates sensors to measure the flow total temperature and pitot pressure. The new probe will allow identification of fluctuations in pressure, temperature and other parameters such as entropy or composition for scales down to around 2mm and frequencies as high as 200kHz. Such spatial and temporal resolution characteristics will make the probe a useful tool for investigating a wide variety of unsteady compressible flows. The first application of this device will be in the measurement of free stream disturbances and fluctuations in a co-flowing free jet configuration generated in the Oxford University gun tunnel facility. Such measurements will demonstrate the utility of the new probe device and should establish the relevance of recent scramjet engine testing results to actual flight conditions where the free stream disturbances are relatively low.
