Filtered Rayleigh Scattering Velocimetry for Wind Tunnel Applications

Abstract

Molecular/atomic filter techniques offer the potential of making quantitative and multi-component two-dimensional velocity measurements. Furthermore, they appear well suited to applications in large scale facilities. As such, considerable interest in these techniques has been generated during the past several years. The goals of the current research program were to develop and demonstrate a molecular filtered based velocimetry system (including the hardware and software). The system demonstration was to be carried out on various flow fields of interest.
