Corrections in hot-wire correlation measurements

Hot-Wire Attenuation and Its Correction in Turbulence Measurements

A scheme is proposed for correcting the hot-wire attenuation in turbulence measurements in both frequency and time domains. The scheme is tested for simulated hot-wire signals under velocity impulse and sinusoidal perturbations of various frequencies. It is found that the frequency response of the hotwire system and the calculated central moments, after applying the correction, can be greatly i...

Nonequilibrium-current-induced corrections to the one-particle-correlation function in a wire

Electron gas in a wire connected to two terminals with potential drop is studied with the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism. Recent studies, where the current is enforced to flow with a Lagrange-multiplier term, demonstrated that the current enhances the one-particle-correlation function. We report that in our model, such enhancement is not guaranteed to occur, but conditional both on the potential d...

The Influence of Spatial Resolution due to Hot-Wire Sensors on Measurements in Wall-Bounded Turbulence

Reassessment of compiled data reveal that recorded scatter in the hot-wire measured near-wall peak in viscous-scaled streamwise turbulence intensity is due in large part to the simultaneous competing effects of Reynolds number and viscous-scaled wire-length l ( lUτ ν, where l is the wirelength, Uτ is friction velocity and ν is kinematic viscosity). These competing factors can explain much of th...

Absolute Steady-State Thermal Conductivity Measurements by Use of a Transient Hot-Wire System

A transient hot-wire apparatus was used to measure the thermal conductivity of argon with both steady-state and transient methods. The effects of wire diameter, eccentricity of the wire in the cavity, axial conduction, and natural convection were accounted for in the analysis of the steady-state measurements. Based on measurements on argon, the relative uncertainty at the 95 % level of confiden...
