LDad Embedded Flow Control for Turbines and Modulated Enhancement of Heat Exchangers (LDadBFCmeHEX)

Abstract

Optimizing internal flow geometries and efficient flow control requires the complete characterization of the instabilities in the near-wall region. These flow instabilities exhibit a wide frequency range, from a few Hz to 100 kHz; therefore, the vital flow-field parameters must be sampled at a high frequency (kHz) during long observation times (seconds). Hence, a continuous, high-frequency 3D Laser Doppler Anemometer (LDA) is proposed to measure the time-resolved three velocity components in several DoD-funded programs.
