Abstract

A method and apparatus for selectively translating the path of at least one pair of light beams in a Laser Doppler anemometry device whereby the light paths are translated in a direction parallel to the original beam paths so as to enable attainment of spacial coincidence of the two intersection volumes and permit accurate measurements of Reynolds shear stress.

Dual beam translator for use in Laser Doppler anemometry

Patent Brudnoy, David M [Albany, NY]

A method and apparatus for selectively translating the path of at least one pair of light beams in a Laser Doppler anemometry device whereby the light paths are translated in a direction parallel to the original beam paths so as to enable attainment of spacial coincidence of the two intersection volumes and permit accurate measurements of Reynolds shear stress.

Dual axis translation apparatus and system for translating an optical beam and related method

Patent Cassidy, Kelly [Manteca, CA]

A dual axis translation device and system in accordance with this invention, for translating an optical beam along both an x-axis and a y-axis which are perpendicular to one another, has a beam directing means acting on said optical beam for directing the beam along a particular path transverse to said x and y axes. An arrangement supporting said beam directing means for movement in the x and y direction within a given plane is provided. The arrangement includes a first means for translating said beam directing means along the x-axis in said given plane in order to translate themore »« less

Reynolds stress measurements in cylindrical geometry using laser Doppler anemometry

Conference Brudnoy, D M; Moore, W E; Kirouac, G J

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.
Two phase turbulent flow measurements in a ninety degree bend using laser doppler anemometry

Technical Report Kliafas, Y

This report is divided into two main parts. The first part provides detailed measurements of the mean air velocities and the corresponding turbulent stresses in a 90/sup 0/ bend of strong curvature ratio (R/sub r/ = R/D = 1.76) for high Reynolds numbers (2.2 x 10/sup 5/ and 3.74 x 10/sup 5/). To improve the understanding of turbulent high speed air flows in a 90/sup 0/ bend, we have provided as much information as possible about the mean and turbulent quantities of the flow; these have been presented in a form suitable for the evaluation of numerical techniques.

Dual beam optical system for pulsed laser ablation film deposition

Patent Mashburn, D N

A laser ablation apparatus having a laser source outputting a laser ablation beam includes an ablation chamber having a sidewall, a beam divider for dividing the laser ablation beam into two substantially equal halves, and a pair of mirrors for converging the two halves on a surface of the target from complementary angles relative to the target surface normal, thereby generating a plume of ablated material emanating from the target. 3 figs.
