Description
Areas of application
-
Precise detection of local flow phenomena, such as vortex structures in cavities
-
Determination of the degree of turbulence, for example to validate numerical boundary conditions
Functionality
-
Measurement variables: Flow velocities
-
Measurement principle: Calculation of the flow velocity from the temperature dependence of the ohmic resistance of an electrically heated sensor around which a fluid flows
-
Constant temperature circuit: Precise and fast measurements with constant wire temperature thanks to Wheatstone's bridge circuit
Properties
-
High resolution: Detailed detection of turbulent flows thanks to high temporal resolution
-
Compact design: Small measuring volume allows analysis of the smallest flow structures
-
3D measurements: Multi-wire probes allow the flow velocity to be recorded in all three spatial directions
-
Mobility: The CTA system of the TFD is mobile and can be used on various test benches
