Velocity Profiles in Shear-Driven Liquid Films: LDV-Measurements

  • Conference paper
Developments in Laser Techniques and Fluid Mechanics

Abstract

In design and layout of fuel preparation systems for SI-engines or gas turbines as well as other technical systems working with shear-driven liquid films accurate information on the velocity distribution within the film as a function of film height is necessary for numerical modeling. To meet this requirements an improved LDV system was built which allows for the first time accurate velocity measurements in thin and wavy liquid films down to an average thickness of about 100 µm. Layout and the optical arrangement of the new system is presented in details together with some examplary applications.
