Application of a partly submerged two component laser-Doppler anemometer in a turbulent flow

A partly submerged two comportent laser-Doppler anemometer has been employed in the simultaneous measurement of the velocity components in streamwise direction and perpendicular to the wall in a fully developed turbulent channel flow. Partial submersion of the laser-Doppler anemometer in the fluid allows measurements at variable distance from the wall without requiring readjustments of the optics.     

Comparison of turbulence length scales assessed with three measurement systems in increasingly complex turbulent flows

This paper proposes to compare turbulence length scales measured with three different experimental systems commonly used in aerodynamic measurements, namely hot wire anemometer, Laser Doppler Velocimetry and Particle Image Velocimetry, using turn-key systems from Dantec and TSI, and for three different turbulent flows: a homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flow, a homogeneous shear flow and the wake of a porous disc.This study will show that Taylor macro scale assessment is not clearly dependent on the experimental system used, except for nonconstant shear, where the measurement volume size seems to be a critical parameter. On the other hand, Taylor micro-scale is highly dependent on the space or time resolution of the correlation and on the presence of random measurement noise. Among the three systems, only the hot wire anemometer seems to provide the right requirements to properly assess the Taylor micro-scale.

Measurement of velocity in rotational flows using ultrasonic anemometry: the flowmeter

In this paper a previously developed theoretical model of the measurement process performed by a transit-time ultrasonic anemometer is applied to a fluid flowing through a circular section pipe. This model considers the influence of the shift of the acoustic pulse trajectory from straight propagation due to the flow on the measured speed. The aim of this work is to estimate the errors induced in the measured velocity by the shift of the acoustic pulse trajectory. Using different duct’s flow models, laminar and turbulent regimes have been analyzed. The results show that neglecting the effect of shift of the acoustic pulse trajectory leads to flow rate measurement underestimation.     

Hot-wire height gauge using a laser and photodiodes

A simple method for measuring the height of a hot-wire anemometer from the wall surface is described. The system consists of a laser and photodiodes joined by optical glass fibres. The position of the wire is indicated when it interrupts the laser beam, which is emitted through the fibre along the wall surface and is observed by the photodiode. The measurement accuracy depends upon the glass fibre and is within 0.01 mm in the present system.     

Numerical simulation of transient response of heat transfer from a hot-wire anemometer transducer

Both the steady state and transient response of the Nusselt number to variations in Reynolds number over the range 1 to 40 are given by the analysis of a time dependent numerical simulation of a hot-wire anemometer transducer described here. Transducer response can be modelled suitably by considering the system to consist of a phase independent non-linearity followed by a non-linear differential equation whose coefficient (approximate time constant) is Nusselt number dependent. Errors associated with slip flow and free convection constrain the minimum size of a hot-wire which may be used in calibration anemometry while the wire thermal inertia and, to a lesser extent, the response of the Nusselt number to Reynolds number limits the use of large diameter wires. Thus, although the tendency has been to use finer and finer wires, the basic fluid mechanics suggests that a compromise in the choice of the wire diameter is appropriate. Thus development of even more sophisticated hot-wire anemometer control systems as well as accurate calibration techniques for measurement in flows containing large amplitude high frequency turbulence is required

Frequency analysis of turbulent compressible flows by laser vibrometry

The objective of this work was the application of laser vibrometry as a tool for non-intrusive measurement of frequency spectra in turbulent flows. A laser vibrometer system together with a signal analyser was used to obtain frequency spectra of density fluctuations across a turbulent free jet. Since laser vibrometry is based on interferometric techniques, the derived signals are path integrals along the measurement beam. Frequency spectra recorded in the rotational symmetric flow were then treated using Abel inversion in order to derive information on local density fluctuations. Results for two different flow conditions were compared to spectral data from a constant temperature anemometer and a pitot-mounted pressure sensor.

Measurements and treatment of LDA signals, comparison with hot-wire signals

 An experimental investigation was carried out in the wind tunnel F2 of the ONERA Fauga centre for the measurement of the characteristics of a turbulent wake behind a wing. As these measurements require the calculation of time and space correlations, two different types of acquisition means are used : a pair of crossed hot wires and a one-dimensional laser-Doppler anemometer. The non-intrusive characteristics of laser anemometry allow the measurement of fluid velocity upstream of a hot wire probe without disrupting the flow. It is well known that LDA generates individual realisations of randomly sampled velocity data because the random arrival of seeding particles in the measurement volume is nonperiodic. A detailed study of this random sampling quantifies the deviations from the theoretical lows, shows the limiting factors of this sampling, and gives a characterisation of the particles arrival law. The simultaneous acquisition of the two velocity signals at very close points allows a good comparison between the signals. A statistical analysis of the two signals enables us to precisely measure the error value of the velocity estimation made by the anemometer. The spectrum analysis of the laser signal coupled with one of the hot wire signals requires resampling the signal at constant steps. Two different methods of interpolation are analysed: the sample and hold interpolation method and the linear interpolation method. The influence of these interpolation methods on the spectrum of LDA signals is studied. Different estimators are then calculated to evaluate the convection velocities and the coherence length of the turbulence. Received: 9 December 1997/Accepted: 19 March 1999     

Optical guidelines and signal quality for LDA applications in circular pipes

The optical performance of laser Doppler anemometer (LDA) technology in applications to circular pipes with an external plane wall has been clarified and quantified. It is shown that optical aberration is a persistent feature in such LDA measurements and measurements from each direction along a full pipe diameter are needed to obtain the flow distribution. For measurements of axial velocities in a circular pipe no special care has to be taken, even if the optical plane deviates from the pipe axis. For measurements of tangential and radial velocities detailed operating guidelines have been presented with respect to the shift of the measurement volume, its optical properties and the beam waist dislocations. The analysis reveals the possible influences on both the signal quality and the measurement accuracy.     

A new approach to enhance the sensitivity of a hot-wire anemometer and static response analysis of a variable-temperature anemometer

 A new hot-wire anemometer which has greater sensitivity than that of a conventional constant-temperature anemometer (CTA) was proposed. Sensitivity differences between a recently developed constant-voltage anemometer (CVA) and a CTA provided a direct motivation of the present study. To derive a factor which made the difference in sensitivity, static response analyses of a CTA and CVA were performed first by calculations and experiments. It was found that the major factor which is responsible for the sensitivity of an anemometer is not the working resistance of a hot wire itself, but the change in the wire resistance with velocity. Based on this analysis, a new anemometer circuit, where the wire working resistance increases with velocity – that is, the operating mode of the wire becomes variable-temperature – was proposed and named a variable-temperature anemometer (VTA). The VTA was made by substituting a voltage-controlled variable resistor such as a photoconductive cell or a transistor for one arm of the bridge. By positively feeding back the bridge-top signal to the input side of these electronic components, the wire resistance could be increased with velocity automatically. The enhanced sensitivity of the VTA was validated by comparing experiment with the CTA. Received: 20 October 1995/Accepted: 27 June 1996     

Determination of the measuring position in laser-Doppler anemometry

The present paper is concerned with the determination of the measuring position of a laser-Doppler anemometer (LDA) relative to a wall. The proposed method is based on the finding that the output of a hot-wire anemometer increases when the wire, which is mounted in quiescent air parallel to the wall, is brought closer than 800 m to the wall. For given hot-wire anemometer parameters, the hot-wire anemometer output voltage depends on the wall material and the wire distance from the wall. After suitable calibration for the wall material of the test section, the anemometer reading in a test rig can be used to find the wire position. Moving the measuring volume of a LDA-system across the wire yields an output voltage variation of the LDA-photomultiplier showing a Gaussian shape. When the maximum output voltage is reached, the centre of the measuring control volume is located at the centre of the wire and, hence, the location of the LDA-measuring position is known. All position measurements for the LDA-system are then taken relative to this point using the scale of the LDA-traversing system. If optical effects of transparent test section walls are eliminated by employing refractive index matched liquids, there are other ways to find the measuring position of a laser-Doppler anemometer relative to a wall. One such method and its application to the study of the turbulent near wall flow in a pipe is described in this paper.     

Slip velocity measurements in an upward bubbly flow by combined LDA and electrodiffusional techniques

 An experimental technique for the measurement of the local slip velocity of spherical bubbles is reported. It is based on the measurement of the local liquid velocity by an electrodiffusional method, and the bubble velocity by a specially adapted LDA (Laser Doppler anemometer) with a short measuring volume. The bubble velocity is measured taking into account the shift between the bubble centre and the centre of the LDA measuring volume. The slip velocity is obtained by subtracting the liquid velocity from the bubble velocity at the point corresponding to the bubble centre. The technique is applicable for flows with high velocity gradients. Results of the slip velocity measurements in an upward bubbly flow at laminar pipe Reynolds numbers are presented.

The accuracy of turbulent velocity component measurements by multi-sensor hot-wire probes: a new approach to an old problem

The measurement accuracy of different hot-wire probes possessing between two and 12 sensors is analyzed. Experimental data were sampled in a round free jet and in a zero-pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layer by a 12-sensor hot-wire probe. Testing of the various hot-wire configurations is enabled by selectively considering different combinations of the 12 available anemometer output voltages. The influence on the measurement accuracy of neglecting the velocity gradients as well as neglecting one velocity component is analyzed. Two approaches were applied. One is based on expressions that relate the instantaneous velocity components and velocity gradients, and the other is based on a simple least-squares regression method. It is found that neglecting the instantaneous fluctuations of the velocity gradients for the measurement of the cross-stream velocity component, V, has a crucial influence and results in large errors. It is also shown that this influence is less significant or even negligible for the measurement accuracy of the other two velocity components, U and W.     

Effects of time scales on velocity bias in LDA measurements using sample and hold processing

Sample and hold processors may be used to avoid velocity bias errors in laser Doppler anemometer (LDA) measurements if the ratio of flow to measurement time scale is sufficiently high, typically greater than 5. It has been widely assumed that the flow time scale refers to the Taylor time microscale. This paper shows with experimental verification that the appropriate flow time scale is, in fact, the integral time scale of the flow. Furthermore, it shows that if velocity bias exists with a sample and hold processor, it can in many cases be predicted. It has been shown elsewhere that the integral time scale is also the relevant one for the prediction of velocity bias of a controlled processor.     

Measurement of velocity and kinetic energy of turbulence in swirling flows and their numerical prediction

Swirling flows are often employed in gas turbine combustion systems and high intensity industrial furnaces. A detailed analysis of the turbulence in the flow is necessary to achieve optimum combustion conditions. In this paper a method has been described to measure the turbulence levels in three directions using a hot wire anemometer. So far there is no established method available for measurement of turbulence in swirling and recirculating flows. The present method, it is hoped, will bridge the gap. The merit of the present method is the use of a single-wire probe rather than the X-probe. The method has been used for the measurement of turbulence levels in swirling recirculating flows generated by vane swirlers. From the measured turbulence levels, the kinetic energy of turbulence has been calculated and the results are compared with a well-established numerical prediction method. Mean velocity measurements have also been made using a 3-hole Pitot probe. The agreement between the measured and predicted values is quite satisfactory.     

Local liquid velocity measurements in air-water bubbly flow

Local measurements of axial liquid velocity were performed for vertical upward air-water bubbly flow in a 101.6-mm inner-diameter round pipe by using a laser Doppler anemometer (LDA) and a hot-film anemometer (HFA). The data reduction approaches for both the LDA and HFA are discussed in detail. A threshold scheme with the information of local void fraction and velocity distribution in single-phase flow was applied to the LDA to approximately discriminate liquid velocity signals from those of the bubble interface velocity. Furthermore, a formulation was given to account for the effect of the bubble relative velocity on the liquid in the front and wake regions of the bubbles. For the HFA, an amplitude threshold scheme and a slope criterion were used to extract liquid velocity information. To reduce the measurement uncertainty, the experiments were performed in flow conditions where the area-averaged void fraction was less than 20%. The experimental results showed satisfactory agreement between the liquid volumetric flow rates calculated by area integration of the local liquid velocity and void fraction measurements, and the measured value by a magnetic flow meter. Also, the area-averaged relative velocity between the gas and liquid phases obtained from the current measurements agreed well with previous research.
