Flow Metrology


5 holes probe


7 holes probe

Study Themes

  • Visualization of flows (coatings, smoke, soap bubbles, liquid crystals, IR thermography, parietal manometry, mini tufts, etc.)
  • Detailed flow characterization (hot film anemometry, anemoclinometry, vorticity measurement, ombroscopy, interferometry, strioscopy, P.I.V. and image processing, etc.)
  • Mapping of pressure, temperature, velocity (1, 2 or 3 components) and turbulence
  • Measurement of steady-state and nonsteady flow rate
  • Design, miniaturization and automatic calibration of directional probes
