INNOVATION
The use of refractive
index matching laser velocimetry to obtain detailed mean and turbulent
flow fields
|
Laser-Doppler Velocimeter
Set-up-Forward Scattering
|
|
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
- Obtained knowledge of flow fields
required to achieve goals
- Flow field measurements provided
a nice compliment to previously acquired heat transfer from a model
of similar geometry
- Simulations were compared to
experimental velocity fields
- Combined computational-experimental
program provided new insight into structure of flow field
|
COMMERCIALIZATION
- Generated $240K in
Government Non SBIR/STTR Funds
- UTRC collaborated
in the program by providing model geometry and heat transfer data
- Pratt and Whitney
performed the computational calculations
|
GOVERNMENT/SCIENCE
APPLICATIONS
- New design tool for the development
of turbine blade internal cooling configurations
- Rotating flow field database
useful for simulation code validation
