Reynolds stress measurements in cylindrical geometry using laser Doppler anemometry

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5188170
Two-component one-point velocity correlation measurements in a cylindrical test section were performed using two-color Laser Doppler anemometry (LDA). In order to overcome the severe optical distortion effects in cylindrical geometry and achieve two-color spatial coincidence, two experimental methods were used: (1) attaching a rectangular, fluid-filled box to the pipe exterior; and (2) employing a laser-beam translating device. A description of these methods and some examples of coincidence data taken in pipe flow are presented.
