Frequency swept fibre laser for wind speed measurements PhD thesis
This PhD thesis builds around a light source forming the basis for a novel type of wind measuring lidar. The lidar emits a train of laser pulses with each pulse being separated from its neighbours in frequency, while being closely spaced in time, thus combining the advantages of conventional continuous wave (CW) and pulsed lidars. A light source capable of emitting such a pulse train is suggest...
متن کاملWind Tunnel Investigation of Pressure Distribution and Transition Position of a Swept 3D Wing
Extensive wind tunnel tests are conducted to evaluate surface pressure distribution of a semi span swept wing. The wing section has a laminar flow airfoil similar to NACA 6-series airfoils. The investigations are conducted at various speeds and angles of attack. Surface pressure distribution over the wing upper surface is measured for both chordwise and spanwise sections. Statistical analyses a...
متن کاملThe Magnetohydrodynamics of Supersonic Gas Clouds: MHD Cosmic Bullets and Wind-Swept Clumps
We report an extensive set of two-dimensional MHD simulations exploring the role and evolution of magnetic fields in the dynamics of supersonic plasma clumps. We examine the influence of both ambient field strength and orientation on the problem. Of those two characteristics, field orientation is far more important in the cases we have considered with β0 = pg/pb ≥ 1. That is due to the geometry...
متن کاملPore pressure in a wind-swept rippled bed below the suspension threshold
Toward elucidating how a wavy porous sand bed perturbs a turbulent flow above its surface, we record pressure within a permeable material resembling the region just below desert ripples, contrasting these delicate measurements with earlier studies on similar impermeable surfaces. We run separate tests in a wind tunnel on two sinusoidal porous ripples with aspect ratio of half crest-to-trough am...
متن کاملLidar Measurements of Wind Flow through a Rotor-swept Area in Tehachapi Pass
Retrieval of wind fields from a single-Doppler lidar with small azimuthal sectors is challenging. Both simpler retrieval algorithms such as Velocity Azimuth Display (VAD) or Volume Velocity Processing (VVP), and more sophisticated techniques such as Four Dimensional Variational Analysis (4DVAR) using VAD for mean velocities have limitations on small sectors of data. Narrow datasets may result i...
