Planar measurements of the injectant mole fraction distribution and the velocity field within a supersonic mixing flowfield have been made using laser-induced iodine fluorescence. The flowfield investigated in this work is staged transverse injection of air into a Mach 2 freestream. A complete three-dimensional survey of the injectant mole fraction distribution has been generated, and a single planar velocity measurement has been completed. The measurements reveal the dramatic effect of streamwise vortices on the mixing in the near field of the injectors, as well as the rapid mixing generated by staging two fuel injectors. Analysis of the downstream decay of the maximum injectant mole fraction in this and other supersonic mixing flowfields indicates that the relative rate of injectant mixing well downstream of the injectors is independent of injection geometry, freestream Mach number, and injectant molecular weight. Mixing within this region of the flowfield is dominated by small-scale turbulence within the injectant plume. The transition of the dominant mixing mechanism, from vortex-driven mixing in the near field to small-scale turbulent mixing in the far field, was found to occur in the region about 10 diameters downstream of the injectors.
