Abstract: | A swept-beam, two-color particle-imaging velocimetry (PIV) technique has been developed which utilizes a single argon-ion laser for illuminating the seed particles in a flowfield. In previous two-color PIV techniques two pulsed lasers were employed as the different-color light sources. In the present experiment the particles in a two-dimensional shear-layer flow were illuminated using arotating mirror to sweep the 488.0-nm (blue) and 514·5-nm (green) lines of the argon-ion laser through a test section. The blue- and greenparticle positions were recorded on color film with a 35-mm camera. The unique color coding eliminates the directional ambiguities associated with single-color techniques because the order in which the particle images are produced is known. Analysis of these two-color PIV images involved digitizing the exposed film to obtain the blue and green-particle image fields and processing the digitized images with velocity-displacement software. Argon-ion lasers are available in many laboratories; with the addition of a rotating mirror and a few optical components, it is possible to conduct flow-visualization experiments and make quantitative velocity measurements in many flow facilities.List of symbols d length of displacement vector - dm distance between rotating mirror and concave mirror - nf number of facets on rotating mirror - R seed-particle radius - v velocity in x, y plane - vs sweep velocity of laser beams, assumed to be in y direction from top to bottom of field of view - vx, vy, vz x, y, and z components of velocity - x1, y1 color-1 particle coordinates - x2, y2 color-2 particle coordinates - ymax y dimension of field of view, assumed to be the long dimension - s spatial separation of beams as they approach rotating mirror - t time separation of laser sheets or of swept beams passing fixed point - tb time between successive sweeps through test section by same beam - ts time required for both beams to sweep through test section - angular separation of beams reflecting from rotating mirror - fluid viscosity - v angular velocity of rotating mirror in cycles per second - seed-particle density - seed-particle response time - v, d, t standard deviation of velocity, displacement, and time - vorticityThis work was supported, in part, by the Aero Propulsion and Power Directorate of Wright Laboratory under Contract No. F33615-90-C-2033. |
