This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contents of this volume reflect to a large extent the efforts made by a group of Institutes at the ETH Zürich to develop new techniques for measurements of flows in fluids in the last decade. The motivation came from the study of tr~sport and mixing processes in natural and industrial systems. One of the characteristic properties of turbulence is its high mixing efficiency. The techniques developed are therefore suitable, although not exclusively, for turbulence measurements. They can be subdivided into point-measurements and field-measurements. The aim of the point-measurements developed is to determine the three components of the velocity and all their first derivatives with good temporal resolution and accuracy in turbulent flows. The old and weIl established method of hot-wire anemometry was used for this purpose. One of the main achievements in this context is the construction of miniature multi-wire probes. This technique was introduced to the Institute of Hydromechanics and Water Resources Management of ETH Zürich by Profs. A. Tsinober and E. Kit from Tel-Aviv University. This was made possible by the generous financial support by ETH, for which I would like to express my gratitude on this occasion. In addition, Dr. F.E. Joergensen from DANTEC contributed an example of recent developments in the hardware ofConstant Temperature Anemometry (CTA), for which I am very thankful.

Download or read book Development of a Volumetric 3D Particle Tracking Velocimetry System and Its Application to Mixing in a Stirred Tank written by Ye Cheng and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantitative fluid flow visualization and measurements are highly demanded in mechanical, chemical, medical and many other science and engineering fields to investigate fluid phenomena, understand theoretical principles and support computational prediction. Three-dimensional Particle Tracking Velocimetry (3D-PTV) is a powerful and comprehensive measurement technique that provides instantaneous 3D volumetric velocity information and Lagrangian description of particle trajectories. This work is based on the 3D-PTV technique that was developed at the Institute of Geodesy and Photogrammetric at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich. Theoretical principles of the technique were studied based on geometric imaging and computer vision. A complete 3D-PTV system was designed, assembled, synchronized, and tested. A study of the accuracy of the 3D-PTV system in terms of the influence of each component was performed. 2D-PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) measurements were done on the same experimental setup used in the 3D-PTV system. Results showed good quantitative agreement between the velocity information obtained with the two systems, which validates the results of the 3D-PTV measurement system. The developed 3D PTV system was applied to the study of mixing in a stirred tank showing that this technique has great potential for the study of low Reynolds number flows where the time-resolved trajectory of particles is important. Further improvement on the configurations and data analysis of the system can provide higher accuracy, higher spatial and temporal resolution, and less complexity, which will lead to an extension on its application.
Download or read book Flowing Matter written by Federico Toschi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-25 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book, published in the Soft and Biological Matter series, presents an introduction to selected research topics in the broad field of flowing matter, including the dynamics of fluids with a complex internal structure -from nematic fluids to soft glasses- as well as active matter and turbulent phenomena. Flowing matter is a subject at the crossroads between physics, mathematics, chemistry, engineering, biology and earth sciences, and relies on a multidisciplinary approach to describe the emergence of the macroscopic behaviours in a system from the coordinated dynamics of its microscopic constituents. Depending on the microscopic interactions, an assembly of molecules or of mesoscopic particles can flow like a simple Newtonian fluid, deform elastically like a solid or behave in a complex manner. When the internal constituents are active, as for biological entities, one generally observes complex large-scale collective motions. Phenomenology is further complicated by the invariable tendency of fluids to display chaos at the large scales or when stirred strongly enough. This volume presents several research topics that address these phenomena encompassing the traditional micro-, meso-, and macro-scales descriptions, and contributes to our understanding of the fundamentals of flowing matter. This book is the legacy of the COST Action MP1305 “Flowing Matter”.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Particle image velocimetry, or PIV, refers to a class of methods used in experimental fluid mechanics to determine instantaneous fields of the vector velocity by measuring the displacements of numerous fine particles that accurately follow the motion of the fluid. Although the concept of measuring particle displacements is simple in essence, the factors that need to be addressed to design and implement PIV systems that achieve reliable, accurate, and fast measurements and to interpret the results are surprisingly numerous. The aim of this book is to analyze and explain them comprehensively.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) is a constantly-expanding field with many new applications and models being introduced on a regular basis. The active nature of this field establishes the need for high-resolution, 3-dimensional experimental data for assessment and development of Subgrid-Scale (SGS) Models. An experimental technique well-suited to this application is Three-Dimensional Particle Tracking Velocimetry (3DPTV) utilizing the epipolar line triangulation method is an accepted method of quantifying volumes of 3-Dimension 3-Component (3D3C) velocity vector fields. This study adapted the epipolar line search triangulation methodology, as it was applied in micro-scale systems, to a backward-facing step flow in a small-scale water tunnel testing facility. The camera system, consisting of three 4008 x 2672 CCDs, was aligned and calibrated using a custom grid and dot target plate mounted on a purpose-built rig, containing a precision single-axis translation stage. Dual-pulsed, Nd:YAG lasers at 532 nm, 120mJ/pulse, illuminated the 28 mm x 18 mm x 4.5 mm volume of interest, located downstream of a 2.858 cm step in a $15.24 cm x 30.48 cm cross-section water tunnel. The turbulent flow, u[subscript in]=22[superscript cm/s], Re[subscript h=6274, R[subscript lambda approx130, and ER=1.208 was seeded with TiO2 particles,

Download or read book Large Scale Particle Tracking Velocimetry for 3 dimensional Indoor Airflow Study written by Pascal Henry Biwole and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While most research on particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) is devoted either to 2D flows or to small scale 3D flows, this paper describes a complete 3D PTV algorithm and some applications to indoor airflow velocity measurement. A particle detection procedure specially adapted to the physical characteristics of neutrally buoyant helium filled soap bubbles is described. In particular, overlarge particle images are removed. Particle center are calculated by a weigh averaging method. Two temporal tracking schemes are presented and compared. The first one is based on fast normalized cross-correlation with Lagrangian extrapolation in image space to solve ambiguities. The second uses polynomial regression to find an estimated position and applies a quality criterion based on a minimization of changes in particle acceleration; to increase the measurement area and the number of trajectories, the correspondence problem is addressed by a new procedure involving fundamental matrices using both three and two 3D calibrated cameras. 3D triangulation is done by a least squares method. Some guidelines are given in terms of camera and light positioning for 3D PTV in large volumes with various wall colors. Applications of the algorithm include Lagrangian tracking: (i) in a light-gray walled 3.1mx3.1mx2.5m high test-room; (ii) inside a black walled 5.5mx3.7mx2.4m high test-room; (iii) over a heat source and inside; (iv) in experimental aircraft cabin; (v) in a 100cmx 100cmx100cm tank filled with an aqueous solution using continuous light and 10μm-large hollow particles. Results show that the algorithm is capable of tracking more than 1400 tracers in volumes up to 3mx3mx1.2m high.

Book excerpt: This fourth issue on "progress in turbulence" is based on the fourth ITI conference (ITI interdisciplinary turbulence initiative), which took place in Bertinoro, North Italy. Leading researchers from the engineering and physical sciences presented latest results in turbulence research. Basic as well as applied research is driven by the rather notorious difficult and essentially unsolved problem of turbulence. In this collection of contributions clear progress can be seen in different aspects, ranging from new quality of numerical simulations to new concepts of experimental investigations and new theoretical developments. The importance of turbulence is shown for a wide range of applications including: combustion, energy, flow control, urban flows, are few examples found in this volume. A motivation was to bring fundamentals of turbulence in connection with renewable energy. This lead us to add a special topic relevant to the impact of turbulence on the wind energy conversion. The structure of the present book is as such that contributions have been bundled according to covering topics i.e. I Basic Turbulence Aspects, II Particle Laden Flows, III Modeling and Simulations, IV, Experimental Methods, V Special Flows, VI Atmospheric Boundary Layer, VII Boundary Layer, VIII Wind Energy and IX Convection. This book is dedicated to the memory of Prof. Tim Nickels. Shortly after giving an invited lecture at the 4th ITI conference, the turbulence community lost a world-class scientist, a friend and devoted family man.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A methodology is proposed to reduce the error in the velocity estimation in Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV) for the study of the developing region of a turbulent shallow mixing layer. First, errors in velocity estimation can be reduced by improving the accuracy of the particle centre estimation by maximizing the spatial resolution of the image, with the constraint that it must contain the mixing layer. As the extent of the mixing layer is a function of its free stream velocity, channel width, and depth, the horizontal projection of mixing layers with 31 different combinations of flow parameters (width, depth, and free stream velocities) are studied to develop a model to predict the mixing layer extent as a function of the flow parameters. Secondly, an enhanced particle linking algorithm is proposed to avoid establishing incorrect particle trajectories representing atypical particle displacements. The algorithm uses an ellipsoid search region that varies in space and whose size is a function of the velocity at the position of the particle. The ellipsoid dimension is defined based on the ellipsoid confidence interval containing 99.75% of the velocity at the position of the particle. The velocity field at the surface of the mixing layer is measured using the PTV technique, and the mean, the root mean square, and the gradients of the velocity are analysed to understand the horizontal flow dynamics of the developing region of the shallow mixing layer. In addition, the vertical variation of the velocity is studied, using 3-D PTV, to characterize the vertical nonuniformity of the velocity of the developing mixing layer, and its consequence for particle dispersion"--

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume comprises a selection of the best papers presented at the Seventh Interna tional Symposium on Applications of Laser Techniques to Fluid Mechanics held at The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon, during the period of July 11 to 14,1994. The papers describe Applications to Fluid Mechanics, Applications to Combustion, Instrumentation for Velocity and Size Measurements and Instrumentation for Whole Field Velocity and demonstrate the continuing and healthy interest in the development of understanding of the methodology and implementation in terms of new instru mentation. The prime objective of this Seventh Symposium was to provide a forum for the presen tation of the most advanced research on laser techniques for flow measurements, and communicate significant results to fluid mechanics. The applications oflaser techniques to scientific and engineering fluid flow research was emphasized, but contributions to the theory and practice of laser methods were also considered where they facilitate new improved fluid mechanic research. Attention was placed on laser-Doppler anemometry, particle sizing and other methods for the measurement of velocity and scalar, such as particle image velocimetry and laser induced fluorescence. We would like to take this opportunity to thank those who participated. The assistance provided by the Advisory Committee, by assessing abstracts was highly appreciated.
Download or read book 3D Particle Tracking Velocimetry on Transverse Injection in Supersonic Flow written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The supersonic Ludwieg Tube at the Graduate Aeronautical Laboratories of the California Institute of Technology was completed and taken into operation. A smaller Ludwieg Tube with the purpose of providing a transverse jet in the main flow was constructed and taken into operation, thus completing a compact, inexpensive supersonic flow/injection facility. The implementation of three-component, three-dimensional particle image velocimetry in supersonic air flows from the instrument existing for low speed water flows at the time of inception of the program required a much greater development effort than had been anticipated at the outset. Major redesign of the hardware and new software development as well as experimentation with particle generating systems produced an instrument that is now able to fulfill the tasks demanded of it for the project with good accuracy and spatial resolution. Velocities parallel to the camera face can be measured to an accuracy of 0.25% and the component normal to the camera face to 2.5%.
Download or read book Building a Turbulent Jet written by and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mechanics of how particles diffuse, interact, eject, etc. within a fluid is applicable to numerous industrial and environmental applications. Unwanted products of combustion, dust contamination of solar panels, pathogen transport during a cough and ejections of particles during volcanic eruptions, are a few examples of flows in which increased knowledge of particle dynamics could result in substantial reduction of negative environmental and economic impacts. To better understand the tendencies of particles within shearing flows (such as jets), an extensive experimental campaign was conducted. Measurements of a turbulent round water jet were performed within an icosahedral tank. Particle tracking velocimetry was employed to create three-component, three-dimensional trajectories. Particles of varying size and weight were used to seed the flow in order to provide a range of inertial effects based on the particle interaction with the fluid. Numerous Eulerian and Lagrangian parameters were characterized and most notable, a trajectory stationarization technique was successfully implemented to address the inhomogeneity of the flow field. This approach could be extended to provide systematic methods to analyze complicated flow fields, enhancing knowledge of their dynamics. Alternatively, theoretical models of particle mechanics have been constructed, contributing to the baseline understanding of Lagrangian dynamics. Stochastic processes and phenomenological approaches are presented to accurately predict the low-order statistics of tracers, point particles which follow the motion of the fluid, for the idealized flow of homogeneous, isotropic and stationary turbulence (i.e. without the inclusions of external forces).
