The advent of laser-speckle techniques applied to the measurement of displacements in deformable media'in 1970 was followed by both basic theoretical work 2-~ and a wide variety of applications of the various methods2-7 However, it was not until the late 1970's that researchers began to apply speckle methods to the measurement of fluid velocities. The most common experimental procedure utilized to measure fluid velocities 8-~ 3 is simple in concept and can be described as follows. The fluid is seeded with a scattering medium (eg, polystyrene spheres, latex paint, glass beads, etc.) and the flow pattern is initiated. A sheet of laser light is used to illuminate a chosen cross section of the flow field. A camera system is used to record two images of the light scattered by the seeded particles, with a known time lag, on one piece of film, The film is then processed as a double-exposure specklegram to obtain two-dimensional displacement fields. These displacement fields are converted to velocity fields by use of the known time differential between the two images. A major disadvantage of the method described above is that considerable time is required to complete the data reduction. Recently, however, a computer-based method for obtaining both displacements and displacement gradients using random patterns was proposed." The method has been used to analyze both rigid-body motions" and uniaxial strains in a solid." This work presents an application of this computer-based method to the determination of two-dimensional velocity distributions in a fluid undergoing steady, laminar flow. The results indicate that the computer-based system is a viable tool for the measurement of relatively small fluid velocities, especially since all of the data reduction is completed by use of a computer and appropriate software.Experiment--General Overview
