Measurement of near-wall 3D flow velocity from wave-guiding micro-pillars
Bruecker, C. (2016). Measurement of near-wall 3D flow velocity from wave-guiding micro-pillars. Optics Express, 24(19), pp. 21407-21414. doi: 10.1364/oe.24.021407
Abstract
The measurement of near-wall flow in a plane close to the wall is achieved using the wave-guiding feature of transparent flexible micro-pillars which are attached in a 2D array to a surface and bend with the flow. Optical detection of bending from below the surface and application of auto-correlation methods provide mean and fluctuating part of the components of the wall-parallel velocity components. In addition, the wall-normal fluid motion is determined from spatial gradients in the array. The data provide the three-component velocity vector field in a plane close to the wall as well as their statistics.
