Flow visualization efforts and pilot measurements with a laser-Doppler anemometer in backscatter mode
Abstract
Activities involving the use flow visualization and laser anemometers are reviewed. In particular, turbulent pipe flow measurements and local velocity determination in a 3 X 3 sq meter wind tunnel are discussed. The calibration of laser anemometer systems using a rotating disk is also addressed.
