Abstract
This paper deals with a simple and reliable technique for simultaneous measurement of velocity and temperature in high-temperature turbulent flows, including combustion. The technique is based on the combination of laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV) and a digitally compensated fine-wire thermocouple. A central issue of this study is to find the applicability and reliability of the technique proposed. For this purpose, a two-thermocouple probe with a fine cold wire (Tagawa, Shimoji and Ohta, 1998), which enables in situ measurement of thermocouple time constants and accurate compensation of the thermocouple response, is combined with LDV. The technique is tested in a turbulent wake behind a heated cylinder, whose thermal field is of ordinary temperature and fluctuates with relatively small amplitude. This enables critical assessment of the measurement accuracy. The results show that the technique is highly reliable and effective for investigating heat transport processes in various non-isothermal turbulent flows.
