ENGINEERING RESEARCH EQUIPMENT: A One-Component Laser Doppler Velocimeter System for Turbulent Particulate Flows in Hydraulics

在工程研究设备补助金的资助下，将购买设备用于研究含沙水流中的湍流。在流体-颗粒介质中，网格产生的湍流将用激光多普勒测速仪进行研究，该测速仪能够测量瞬时流体和颗粒的速度。粒子将与具有相同折射率的流体相匹配。在土木和环境工程领域，悬浮颗粒出现在各种流动应用中。

Funded by an Engineering Research Equipment Grant, equipment will be purchased for use in an investigation of turbulence in sediment-laden flows. Grid-generated turbulence in a fluid- particle medium will be explored with a laser-Doppler velocimeter capable of measuring instantaneous fluid and particle velocities. The particles will be matched to the fluid with the same index of refraction. Suspension of particulates occur in a variety of flow applications in the civil and environmental engineering area.
