The three dimensional static density field was measured for transonic flow from a square nozzle using holographic interferometry. These measurements are presented in order to show the efficiency of this method for obtaining accurate experimental data of transonic flows. The accuracy of the measurement was estimated by operating the nozzle at a pressure ratio of 1.89 where the flow should expand to the ambient pressure with no afterexpansion effects. The standard deviation in the static density was approximately 1 percent over the isentropic (potential core) part of the flow. Data are also presented for a pressure ratio of 2.14 where afterexpansion effects are important. The method described represents a significant technical improvement in practical interferometry.

The successful application of holography to the study of three-dimensional flow fields due to phase objects has been reported in the literature. The present report extends this technique to the study of density fields around opaque bodies as would normally be encountered in wind tunnel experiments. The density field around a 10-deg half-angle cone at 0 and 10-deg angle of attack has been investigated by means of the finite fringe holographic interferometry. The three-dimensional density field obtained from the reduction of the interferograms was found to agree with that obtained from an analytical solution of the governing equations.

The field measurement was conducted to observe the wind field data of West Pacific typhoon “Maria” in this research. With the application of ultrasonic anemometers installed in different heights (10 m, 80 m, 100 m) of the tower, the three dimensional wind speed data of typhoon “Maria” was acquired. In addition, vane-type anemometers were installed to validate the accuracy of the wind data from ultrasonic anemometers. Wind characteristics such as the mean wind profile, turbulence intensity, integral length scale, and wind spectrum are studied in detail using the collected wind data. The relationship between the gust factor and turbulence intensity was also studied and compared with the existing literature to demonstrate the characteristics of Maria. The statistical characteristics of the turbulence intensity and gust factor are presented. The corresponding conclusion remarks are expected to provide a useful reference for designing wind-resistant buildings and structures.
