ABSTRACT: Three-dimensional density measurement of unsteady flow field around a sphere is carried out in the ballistic range at Institute of Fluid Science, Tohoku University. Simultaneous multi-angle measurement system using twelve digital cameras is installed in the test chamber of the ballistic range to achieve the three-dimensional density measurement. The Colored-Grid Background Oriented Schlieren (CGBOS) technique using colored-grid background is utilized for the reconstruction of density. The Mach number of the sphere is set to 1.5. The short pulse LEDs to illuminate the backgrounds are also installed in the chamber to capture the unsteady flow field around a flying sphere. Three-dimensional density distribution around a sphere is successfully reconstructed.
