Optical display and measurement of transverse jet flow field under supersonic inflow is performed with continuous xenon lamp color schlieren, strobo light color schlieren and strobo light monochrome schlieren. Characteristic of fuel transverse jet in scramjet combustion chamber is studied. Results indicate that wave structure can be displayed through images obtained from long time exposure of schlieren, exposure time in dozens of nanoseconds is suitable for the display of turbulent structure, and comparing with color schlieren, amounts of information obtained from monochrome schlieren are few, whose sensitivity is much lower, either.
