AI Thread Summary
Laser Doppler Anemometry (LDA) is a technique used to measure fluid velocities by analyzing the frequency shift of laser light scattered by particles in the fluid. The probe volume refers to the specific region within the fluid where the laser interacts, influencing the measurements. Bragg cells, or acousto-optic modulators, are devices that manipulate the laser beam's frequency for improved measurement accuracy. The varying beam angle affects the data collected, introducing uncertainties that can be analyzed to enhance measurement reliability. Understanding these components is crucial for effectively utilizing LDA in fluid dynamics studies.

Hello,

I was hoping someone might be able to help explain what the following are, I have found many articles but non which explain it in Lehman's terms:

Probe Volume
Bragg Cells

Also can someone explain how the effect of varying beam angle is not under our control, but it can tell us about uncertainties?

Many Thanks

M

Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
