Measurements of the Three Components of the Water Flow Around a Hydrodynamic Model in a Towing Tank with a 2D Laser Doppler Velocimeter System
Abstract
Measuring the three components of a water flow in a towing tank can be done by using a two component Laser Doppler Velocimeter. This device is used to measure the velocity distribution and to study the boundary layer around the back half of a 1/12th scale model of a 22.5 meter fishing boat. Measurements are performed from well out of the boundary layer in the potential flow up to 0.5 mm of the hull, for two speeds. Some 3D stream lines are measured at the boundary layer limit
