The system was jointly developed for the aerospace, hydraulics and electronic departments of \"Politecnico di Milano\", for the study of water flow and for the water tunnel simulation of aerodynamic phenomena. Here an improved three colour PIV system version is tested on a fundamental physical model. In this test we study the flow field around an obstacle normal to the free-stream direction. The phenomenon modelled is a water stream flowing over a sill, were we have both upstream and downstream recirculation and large velocity gradient. By using two different time intervals three velocity fields were obtained by applying the cross-correlation algorithm on the same image. This information was used to solve the whole velocity field with a more uniform distribution of the uncertainty of velocity measurement. The latter is mainly due to the displacement of the particles, therefore it was possible to choose the best one, having three different possibilities. Moreover different and close time delay allowed the evaluation of local rate of change of velocity which was computed using a first-order differencing scheme.","PeriodicalId":166420,"journal":{"name":"20th International Congress on Instrumentation in Aerospace Simulation Facilities, 2003.

The extension of atomic filter technologies to imaging Raman scattering is also of interest. Both Rayleigh and Raman scattering are dramatically stronger in the ultraviolet due to both resonance enhancement and to the frequency to the fourth scaling of the cross section. The development of a high-power, narrow linewidth source in the ultraviolet is, therefore, of significant interest. Mercury absorption cells operating at 254 nm are well suited for these diagnostics. This paper demonstrates that a short pulse-driven, high efficiency mercury lamp can be used to generate ultra-narrow linewidth radiation at 254 nm. The lamp is driven at 9 kHz with high voltage (30 kV), 2 nsec pulses and the spectrum of the radiation seen after several hundred nsec is almost purely the 254 nm line. The linewidth of this mercury lamp is narrow enough so it can be used in conjunction with the mercury vapor filter for both Rayleigh and Raman diagnostics.","PeriodicalId":166420,"journal":{"name":"20th International Congress on Instrumentation in Aerospace Simulation Facilities, 2003.

Calibration curves have been acquired for a variety of PSP formulations using this system, and a validation test was recently completed in the subsonic aerodynamic research laboratory (SARL) at Wright-Patterson air force base (WPAFB). In this test, global surface pressure distributions were recovered using both a standard intensity-based method and the new lifetime system. Results from the lifetime system agree both qualitatively and quantitatively with those measured using the intensity-based method. Finally, an advanced lifetime imaging technique capable of measuring temperature and pressure simultaneously is introduced and initial results are presented.","PeriodicalId":166420,"journal":{"name":"20th International Congress on Instrumentation in Aerospace Simulation Facilities, 2003.

Reynolds numbers calculated by nose radius were ranged between 60000 and 210000. Two type of TSP were used: monochromatic and two-color. Two-color paint contains additional temperature insensitive dye to compensate excitation light intensity variation.

Sets of horizontal tail plains were employed to generate additional vortex sheet interacting with the wing vortex sheet of a rectangular wing. The study was made in the water towing tank in Gottingen (WSG), which was instrumented with 2D/3C PIV system, balance and flow visualisation devices. The tailoring of 4 vortices wake systems was achieved by varying horizontal tail plains with different aspect ratios with various incidences, generating various destabilising effects. The study exhibited that the interaction of tail vortices with tip vortices may result in a promising self-destructive mechanism within the wake system in the sense that the vortex core experiences an instability and decay abruptly. Typically, the wake vortex cores could be destabilised by as early as in 30 wing spans downstream with suitable tail settings, instead of more than 100 wing spans for that of a \"clean model\". The possible influence from the finite movement in the water tank due to transient processes of the model (end-effect) was investigated. The influence of the bottom and side wall effects was estimated from comparison of results from a larger water towing tank (HSVA).","PeriodicalId":166420,"journal":{"name":"20th International Congress on Instrumentation in Aerospace Simulation Facilities, 2003.

The streamwise-plane data determined the strength and location of the vortices using the vertical velocity component while the crossplane data directly provided a measurement of the vortical motion.
