Determination of a Third Orthogonal Velocity Component Using Two Rotationally Displaced Laser Doppler Velocimeter Systems

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Transformation equations are derived that may be used to determine a third orthogonal velocity component from measurements made at a common point by two rotationally displaced, two orthogonal component laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV) systems. These equations also may be used to relate velocity measurements made in a particular coordinate system to any other coordinate system. It is shown that the set of smallest angles that may be used to separate the two, two component, LDV systems is very sensitive to the relative magnitudes and directions of the individual velocity components. When the magnitudes of all velocity components are about the same, it is found that the minimum angle of separation is of the same order as the instrumental error of the LDV systems.
