We report on experiments on the effects of air bubbles on ultrasound velocity measurements in fluids. We used an acoustic Doppler velocimeter system for measuring the three velocity components in a single point and an acoustic Doppler velocimetry profiler system for measuring axial velocity in several points along the beam. The results suggest that both systems essentially measure the velocity ...

A method is described for the measurement of basilar membrane (BM) vibration velocimeter (LDV). The instrumentation was coupled to a compound microscope which served to visualize reflective glass microbeads placed on the BM. The laser beam of the LDV was focused in the microscope object plane and positioned over the reflective bead. We show examples of frequency tuning curves and displacement i...

The analysis of turbulent flow signals irregularly sampled by a Laser Doppler velocimeter is assessed by means of ANNs. This technique has been proven to correctly predict the time evolution of turbulent signals. In this paper we are taking advantage of this ability to obtain models of unevenly sampled signals and thus be able to reconstruct and resample them at a regular pace in order to allow...

the effect of a combined system of the bed suction and jet injection as a pier-scour countermeasure on the turbulent flow field is studied in a laboratory flume using an acoustic doppler velocimeter (adv). the three components of the velocities in the vertical symmetry plane in the equilibrium scour hole in front and rear of the pier under 3-jet injections and bed suction rate qs/q0 = 2%located...

A new laser-Doppler velocimeter (LDV) for high speed flow measurements (three-dimensional flows with speeds greater than 610 m/s) is being developed based in-part upon an existing low speed instrument capable of high resolution, near surface velocity vector measurements. The key technology for the instrument is a sub-miniature laser-Doppler velocimeter (SMLDV); a similar low-speed version of wh...

The effect of a combined system of the bed suction and jet injection as a pier-scour countermeasure on the turbulent flow field is studied in a laboratory flume using an Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV). The three components of the velocities in the vertical symmetry plane in the equilibrium scour hole in front and rear of the pier under 3-jet injections and bed suction rate Qs/Q0 = 2%located...
