Pressure wave transmission attenuation in an air pipe flow is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. This investigation is to ensure the viability of remote flow measurement in an air pipe flow using a new fluidic pressure-pulse-transmitting flowmeter. The novel flowmeter produces self-induced oscillations, whose frequency is proportional to the flowrate. These pressure waves are transmitted via the flowing fluid and can be detected far downstream of the device. Experimental work has been conducted to ascertain how much the pressure waves are attenuated in air flow in a pipeline. This was done by using pipes of 0.05m diameter and both 4.7 and 28.5m long installed downstream of the flowmeter. A method of network simulation known as transmission line modelling (TLM), which has been programmed as the Sheffield University Network Analysis Software (SUNAS) code, is described and utilized to predict the wave decay through the air pipe flow. The theoretical and experimental results were found to give good agreement, demonstrating both the value of the modelling software and the viability of the remote flow measurement concept.

AbstractIn the present article, the experimental investigation of optical breakdown induced by ns/mJ pulses at two wavelengths, 1064 nm and 532 nm, in air of atmospheric pressure is reported and discussed. The obtained breakdown thresholds were compared with theory and are in good agreement. The generated plasmas have been characterized by their amount of scattered laser light, energy transmission, and change of the transmitted temporal shape. Laser-induced plasma formation in a gas, in air, also generates an acoustic pressure wave. The acoustic energy is compared to the laser pulse energy and is found to be linearly dependent. Moreover, the frequency distribution of the characteristic acoustic pressure wave was analyzed. The experiments described were accomplished in order to optimize a laser ignition system with regard to efficiency and costs. The laser system employed for these investigations is a compact high peak power, passively Q-switched, longitudinally diode-pumped solid-state laser. Such a “laser spark plug” should replace conventional spark plugs in internal combustion engines because conventional ignition has reached its limits in terms of efficiency and durability. Thereby, a reduction of pollutant emission should also be feasible.
