A new laser velocimetry technique, Doppler global velocimetry, is described. This technique is capable of simultaneously measuring in real time the three components of velocity of an entire particle field i l luminated by a laser l ight sheet . A prototype one-component velocimeter is described along with the signal processing electronics. The system was tested by measuring the velocity field f...

Radial profiles of particle velocities were investigated in a 6.1m high methanol-to-olefins cold model experimental device using a TSI laser Doppler velocimeter. The effect of axial height on flow development was not obvious in fully developed region under the same operating condition. Superficial gas velocity and solid circulating rate had significant influence on particle velocity in the cent...

There is currently no ideal method for concurrently assessing intraluminal pressures and flows in humans with high temporal resolution. We have developed and assessed the performance of a novel fiber-optic laser-Doppler velocimeter, mounted in a multichannel manometric assembly. Velocimeter recordings were compared with concurrent fluoroscopy and manometry following 50 barium swallows in health...

In this paper, a novel velocimeter based on laser self-mixing Doppler technology has been developed for speed measurement. The laser employed in our experiment is a distributed feedback (DFB) fiber laser, which is an all-fiber structure using only one Fiber Bragg Grating to realize optical feedback and wavelength selection. Self-mixing interference for optical velocity sensing is experimentally...

An experimental comparison method is proposed for theverification of mean flow and turbulence measurements obtainedwith a three-dimensional laser Doppler velocimeter system. Suchmeasurements can include large errors caused by problems uniqueto three-dimensional systems. Direct comparisons of laser and hotcross-wire measurements obtained in two-dimensional flows, as isthe...

An industrial laser Doppler velocimeter has been developed for accurately measuring the velocity and length of moving surfaces. The instrument's advanced optical and electronic design provides a large depth of field, high SNR, and large dynamic range making it very suitable to industrial process control applications.
