Image Velocimetry

A new particle image velocimetry system is applied to measure turbulent air jet flows from a micro-scale nozzle. The applied MPIV system includes a long-distance microscope that enables not only a long working distance, but also a forward-scattering optical setup. By using a high repeating rate Nd:YAG laser and an advanced digital camera, particle image recordings can be captured at 60 fps, i.e. 30 PIV recording pairs per second, with an interframing time of 180 ns, so that a high-speed flow measurement is enabled in micro scale. Measurements were conducted in the central plane of an air jet from a nozzle of 500 μm in diameter at flow velocity up to 110 m/s. Mean velocity and Reynolds stress distributions were determined with statistical analyses of thousands of instantaneous velocity maps.

Image Velocimetry

For large space buildings like industrial plants with huge heat generation, the role that surface-source plumes play becomes more crucial. To study the air distribution and movement of plumes, the first step is to quantify how the airflow gets distributed in chambers. The experiment was carried out in a thermostatic chamber where there was no ventilation. Four hundred flow field snapshots (in each region) were measured by a two-dimensional particle image velocimetry system at a sampling frequency of 3 Hz, and the time-average flow field was processed by the adaptive correlation algorithm to quantify the air distribution of the plume. According to the measured data, the variation law of the axial velocity of the surface-source plume under different heat source parameters was analysed. The formula coefficients of the axial velocity, the extended radius and the mass flow of the plume were discussed, and the coefficients from current two mainstream methods and those obtained in this paper were compared. The results of this study will be useful to predict motion of surface-plumes and optimize airflow patterns in large spaces.

Image Velocimetry

The discharge of two-phase flow from a stratified region through single or multiple branches is an important process in many industrial applications including the pumping of fluid from storage tanks, shell-and-tube heat exchangers, and the fluid flow through small breaks in cooling channels of nuclear reactors during loss-of-coolant accidents (LOCA). Knowledge of the flow phenomena involved along with the quality and mass flow rate of the discharging stream(s) is necessary to adequately predict the different phenomena associated with the process. Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) in three dimension was used to provide detailed measurements of the flow patterns involving distributions of mean velocity, vorticity field, and flow structure. The experimental investigation was carried out to simulate two phase discharge from a stratified region through branches located on a semi-circular wall configuration during LOCA scenarios. The semi-circular test section is in close dimensional resemblance with that of a CANDU header-feeder system, with branches mounted at orientation angles of zero, 45 and 90 degrees from the horizontal. The experimental data for the phase development (mean velocity, flow structure, etc.) was done during single discharge through the bottom branch from an air/water stratified region over a three selected Froude numbers. These measurements were used to describe the effect of outlet flow conditions on phase redistribution in headers and understand the entrainment phenomena.
