A wake-controlled exterior hood was developed to overcome the negative influence of cross draft on an exterior hood and avoid the operation inconvenience caused by the enclosure of an airflow capture booth. This new type of local exterior hood used the hood suction flow to stabilize the dynamic vortex shedding that was induced when a crossflow passed over a blockage plate, and therefore formed ...

The National Optics Institute has recently developed an optical velocimeter composed of two parallel laser beams for measuring perpendicularly the speed and the length of vehicles. The system must be capable of measuring speeds varying from 0 to 150 km/h in both directions with an accuracy of 1%. This paper focuses on the algorithms and signal processing aspects of the system. The speed is meas...

The Hugoniot elastic limit and spall strength were measured for a heat-resistant metal-matrix composite Inconel 625–5%NiTi–TiB2 alloy additive manufactured (AM) by direct laser deposition. characteristics of the obtained from analysis complete wave profiles recorded with VISAR Doppler velocimeter during shock-wave loading samples. samples loaded using PP50 pneumatic gun or ad hoc explosive devi...

We demonstrate the use of a novel technique for the detection of heterodyne laser-induced thermal acoustic signals that allows the construction of a highly stable seedless laser velocimeter. A common-path configuration is combined with quadrature detection to provide flow direction, to greatly improve robustness to misalignment and vibration, and to give reliable velocity measurement at low-flo...

In 33 patients with confirmed mitral valve disease, the mitral valve flow velocity traces were recorded by means of a directional Doppler ultrasonic velocimeter using the transseptal route, and correlated with the clinical and haemodynamic data. In all cases, characteristic anomalies of the mitral flow velocity patterns were noted and could be related to the type of lesion, stenosis, regurgitat...
