Abstract
Details of a new technique in pulsed wire anemometry, developed to allow measurement of two-point spatial velocity correlations in highly turbulent flows, are described. An outline of the interface devices necessary for linking two anemometers to a microcomputer is given and examples of the use of the technique are presented. Firstly, measurements of spatial correlations with and without time delay in the near wake of a nominally two-dimensional cylinder normal to a uniform stream confirmed the viability of the technique. Secondly, measurements in the highly turbulent, separated region behind a normal flat plate fitted with a downstream splitter plate are presented as a demonstration of the effectiveness of the technique in such ‘difficult’ flows. We believe that these are the first direct measurement of spatial correlation functions within a separated flow.
