FEASIBILITY STUDY OF A LASER FLOWMETER FOR LOCAL VELOCITY MEASUREMENTS IN GAS FLOW FIELDS,

Abstract

The Doppler shift in laser light scattered from smoke particles in a moving gas has been detected by optical heterodyne techniques, thereby verifying the feasibility of a laser Doppler flowmeter for measurement of local velocities in contaminated gas flow fields. (Author)
