RANGE EXTENSION AND COMPONENT RESOLUTION OF THE LASER VELOCIMETER

Abstract

A method of increasing the upper limit of the velocity range of the laser velocimeter is discussed. The velocity increase is accomplished by arranging the optics so that the angle between the scattered and incident beam is minimized. For flow fields with two or three nonzero components, an expression is derived relating the magnitudes of each component to the measured frequency.
