Complex geometries and randomly connected void spaces within packed beds have hindered efforts to characterize the underlying transport phenomena occurring within. In this communication, we present our experimental studies on a facility of randomly packed spheres that can be a representative of sections within a reactor core in a nuclear power plant. The results of high-fidelity velocity measurements can be seen using Time-Resolved Particle Image Velocimetry (TR-PIV) at the pore scales and near the wall boundary in the Matched Index of Refraction (MIR) facility. The MIR approach allows for a non-invasive analysis of the flow within packed spheres at the microscopic scales with high temporal and spatial resolution. Flow characteristics obtained from the TR-PIV measurements at various Reynolds numbers are presented. The results include the first- and second-order flow statistics, such as mean velocity, root-mean-square fluctuating velocity and Reynolds stresses. Effects of the wall boundary and Reynolds numbers on flow patterns are currently being investigated. Comparisons of the mean velocities, root-mean-square fluctuating velocities, and Reynolds stress components show the increase of flow mixing and turbulent intensities within the gaps between spheres in the packed bed. Sizes of recirculation regions, however, seem to be independent of the increase of Reynolds numbers.

The accurate measurement of velocity fields containing large dynamic ranges is important because many problems of interest feature regions of both very high and low velocity. Examples include mixing tanks, jets injected into quiescent chambers, and stagnation regions behind bodies in high speed flow. However, accurate calculation of the velocity is currently limited to displacements greater than the total error of the scheme used (typically in the range of 0.01 to 0.05 pixels) and less than one-quarter of the window size. To counteract this difficulty, two new methods for improving the dynamic range of DPIV calculations have been developed. The first can be used with any double-pulsed time-resolved DPIV system where closely spaced frame pairs are captured at kilohertz rates. Displacement measurements can be made both within each frame pair (resolving high velocity regions), and between successive pairs (resolving low velocity regions). The two displacement fields are then reconciled, resulting in a single flow field measurement. The second method uses multiple laser pulses per camera exposure. Four laser pulses are required per measurement (two per camera frame), however, unlike the first method, kilohertz repetitions rates are not required. By carefully selecting the intervals between pulses, it is possible to associate the each cross-correlation peak with the correct delay time, and thereby simultaneously obtain velocity measurements over a much wider dynamic range. These two methods have been applied to synthetic and experimental data and their performance has been characterized through error analysis. Results indicate that both methods can increase the dynamic range by one to two orders of magnitude as compared to traditional techniques, while retaining similar total error and spatial resolution characteristics.

The wake flow behind a cylinder of 100mm diameter is investigated using time resolved 2D PIV technique applied to an air flow generated in a closed loop open test section wind tunnel. The flow is seeded using a micro soap bubble generator (BG-1000, TSI Inc.). The bubbles in the air flow were illuminated with a CW laser source and imaged using a high-speed camera. The main purpose of this study is to show features and advantages of using soap bubbles as seeding for a relatively large-scale PIV investigation under low power illumination conditions.

To determine the peak pressure induced versus the incident intensity of a neodymium (Nd) glass pulsed laser, with a duration of 25 ns in glass confined geometry, two methods have been comparatively used. Free surface velocity measurements have been performed using an electromagnetic gauge. The results are compared with pressure measurements realized at the back of irradiated aluminum targets with the use of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) gauges. Both diagnostics provide consistent results. The measurements of peak pressure as a function of laser irradiance are used to determine the calibration curve (current density versus loading pressure) for new VF2/VF3 copolymer shock gauges used in this lasermatter interaction configuration. These experimental set-up deliver time resolved measurements that are interpreted by the shock-propagation phenomena.
