Laseroptical measurement
PIV and LDA / PDA
Scope of Application
There are, whether wanted or not, fluid flows at many products. Depending on ambient conditions, boundaries and many other factors such fluid flows will appear in many different ways. Hence it is often very difficult to make predications on the flow itself or the interactions with other components.
Using laser optical measuring methods will show you new potential for optimization:
- Power
- Efficiency
- Pressure drop
- Heat exchange
- Costs
- Design
- Streaming direction
- Noise
This modern method laseroptical measuring has many advantages:
- calibration-free
- non touching
- not invasive
- demonstrative
- fast
At this time fluid flows can be analyzed with two different methods:
- Particle Image Velocimetry
- Laser / Phase Doppler Anemometry
Particle Image Velocimetry
Procedure for the velocity measurement by PIV (particle image velocimetry)
Velocity and direction of a fluid flow is detected by carried particles in the fluid itself. The fluid flow is therefore exposed to light in a plane for a short time. Comparing two pictures shows the displacement of single particles. With this information the velocity field can be calculated.
1. Video – flow with Seeding particles. The following video shows the exposure of a cuvette with fluorescent microparticles. The particles are illuminated in a laser cut and each two pictures are recorded within a short time distance. 2. From these exposured double-pictures the velocities at the exposure layer can be calculated. The time dependent velocity course is shown in this video. 3. Like shown in the last video the flow course is presented clearly by mean value formation. The amount of velocity is marked in terms of colour.
possible task:
- Detection of the streaming structure at air outlets, exhaust equipments, fans and similar components
- Optimization of flown through components as ducts, heat exchanger and housings
- Getting boundary conditions for CFD simulations
- Detection of vortices
- measurement of transient streaming
- Getting the mean values of transient streaming

Planar PIV (2d2c)
Using a planar PIV the velocity field within a plane can be measured. Advantagously there is a fast system and a flow visualisation giving first impressions of the flow one may interested in. Furthermore this setup, having one camera in his simplest configuration, can be upgraded by further cameras. This leads to fields of view about 1,8mx0,5m or 1mx1m, wich can be measured at once. Application examples are meaurements insisde and outside of cars as well as measurements at large fans
Stereoscopic PIV (2d3c)
Applying a second camera in addition to the setup of a planar PIV a thrid velocity component perpendicular to the illuminated plane can be measured. The picture presents the outlet velocity at an axial fan as an example. The measured values have been processed using Paraview.
Volumetric PIV (3d3c)
By ilumminating a volume instead of one sheet the fluid motion within this volume in every direction can be measured.
For the calculation of the velocity vectors at first the particles found in the illuminated volume have to be reconstructed. In a second step the displacement of these particles between two different time steps are calculated.
Laser Doppler Anemometry
