▼ In the field of complex fluid, such as emulsions,
polymer, colloids or surfactant solutions, an interesting research
process is to analysis their multiphase characters. The primary
difference between fluids and solids is how they respond to the
shear stress: Pure fluid, which is viscous, tends to dissipate the
mechanical energy, whereas a solid, which is more likely to store
the energy, is elastic. For materials like complex fluids, their
viscoelastic characters, which vary with the frequency, let them
both store and dissipate the energy. Those characters are
represented as complex shear modulus G*(ω). The viscous component
is the imaginary part of G*(ω), which is also called the loss
modulus G’’(ω); the elastic component is the real part of G*(ω),
which is also called the storage modulus G’(ω). Usually, a good
rheology method is to apply an oscillatory shear strain with
different frequencies. With a given angular speed and temperature,
the torque required to rotate the plate contacting with the fluid
is measured, and the storage and loss modulus from the shear stress
are calculated from the torque. To use this method, a rotor is used
to rotate the fluid at different frequencies, and we calculate the
viscous and elastic modulus (G’ G’’). C. Wilhelm et al. tested two
modulus of Laponite colloidal suspension in 2002. The thesis
introduces a new method of testing visco-elastic of fluid in high
frequency by using the microscope and high speed camera. To test
the viscosity and elastic characters of a solution, particles are
tracked to calculate the mean squared displacement(MSD), using
Laplace transformation on MSD to have the viscous and elastic
modulus. T.G. Mason et al. recorded MSD of 0.21µm polystyrene latex
particles in 15% polyethylene oxide solution; they also tested the
Diffusing wave spectroscopy(DWS) measurements on ethylene glycol
solution with 0.21µm silica particles. For both experiments, they
had the visco-elastic modulus at the highest frequency of 20Hz. G.
D. Jay et al. tested 6 different kinds of fluid, including both
Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. For complex fluid, the highest
frequency of visco elastic modulus was 100Hz/ To calculate the MSD,
a commonly using method for tracking particles is to calculate the
displacement of two images. One particle on the first image is
focused on, around which a searching area is defined. The closest
particle inside the searching area in the following image is
regarded as the same particle as the first one. When there are no
particles in the searching area, it means that the particles
disappear from the field of the microscope. With this result, we
have the displacement of one time interval (the time between two
neighboring images, and the displacement belongs to the same
particle). Integrating the displacement for each particle, we have
the displacement for larger time intervals. This method has a good
tracking result for large particles and low frequency. On one hand,
the random walk for large particles is small, which is easy to be
defined as correlated…

▼ In the present research, the three dimensional particle tracking software OpenPTV is validated with synthetic images from the Standard PIV project by the Visualization Society of Japan, and with experimental data from the twin-jet facility at the Laser Diagnostics Multiphase Flow Laboratory in Texas A&M University. OpenPTV is an open source software, initially developed at ETH Zurich and now used among what has become the OpenPTV consortium, a collection of academic institutions with interest in experimental fluid mechanics who want to develop a better software for everyone.
The software is tested with regard to particle detection, particle position and velocity reconstruction in three dimensional space, as well as individual particle trajectory reconstruction. For the experimental assessment, the OpenPTV results are compared with a Laser Doppler
Velocimetry study, as well as results from the in-house two dimensional particle tracking
velocimetry software. As contributions to the consortium, the author wrote a calibration code to be implemented in the OpenPTV software which will facilitate processing and improve performance as well as a post-processing script which allows ensemble averaging and computes various fluid mechanics metrics.

▼ The study of military style exhaust nozzles to further understand their acoustic characteristics has been the recent focus of the Pennsylvania State University high-speed jet aeroacoustics facility. Advanced measurement techniques are required to study the turbulence characteristics of the flow field. Development of a laser Doppler
velocimetry system would allow for these measurements to be made non-intrusively.
Development of the laser Doppler
velocimetry system required research and testing of each component as it was placed into the system. Development was split into two portions: fundamental or basic concepts and components, and advanced components. During these stages, many components, such as the transmitting and receiving probes, were fabricated, procedures were developed, and calibration of the transmitting probe was completed.
Once the development stages were complete, the laser Doppler
velocimetry system was used to measure subsonic flows of a cold air exhaust jet. Velocity measurements proved to be accurate to within 2% of calculated jet Mach numbers with discrepancies of up to 6% at Mach numbers approaching 1 at x/D of 2. Comparison of axial turbulence intensity data to previous studies yielded less favorable result possibly due to use of the exhaust fan, but this hypothesis cannot be proven without more experiments.
Parametric studies were also on the ratio of the injection pressure ratio to the nozzle pressure ratio and the exhaust fan power determine their effects of seeding on measurement values. It was determined that ratio of the injection pressure ratio to the nozzle pressure ratio had negligible effect on the measurements except at a value of 1 where the axial turbulence intensity was up to 6% different than the other measurements. However, the ratio was found to have an inverse relationship to the number of validated burst particles per unit time. The power of the exhaust fan created differences in the measurement of up to 3% at x/D greater than 6, with higher values of Mach number and lower values of axial turbulence intensity at the exhaust fan power of 15%. However, it is difficult to draw conclusions with only two sets of data.

▼ There has been an increased interest in the use of flow control in aerodynamics and combustion to improve efficiency and reduce emissions. Plasma flow control is one way by using active flow control affect these desired changes. Spark plasma actuators have capabilities of inducing heat and momentum to the flow field. The flow field generated by this plasma induces complex pressure and temperature gradients that lead to the development of complex flow structures. The experiment described in this research is particularly difficult due to its small scale, and the dynamic range of velocities that are induced by the flow field. This flow field is yet to be quantified by previous research. The flow field generated by spark plasma has not been quantified to date. The development of a set-up to capture and process preliminary findings of the flow field generated by a spark plasma under quiescent conditions is imperative to understanding the capabilities of this plasma actuator.

▼ Tonal noise and mechanical vibrations appear in flexible risers by throughput of dry gas flow. In this master thesis the effect of adding liquid to the fluid stream in the flexible risers is investigated, as this would possibly reduce the tonal noise and mechanical vibrations. Since flexible risers are a concatenation of cavity-like structures, a single cavity structure was chosen as the testing configuration for the present study. The research on the cavity structure was performed experimentally by means of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements, for various gas velocities and liquid filling degrees of the internal cavity area. The experiments showed indications that the accumulation of liquid in the cavity area may reduce the appearance of tonal noise and mechanical vibrations in flexible risers.

▼ Many techniques have been developed for measuring
convective flow velocities in liquids such as LDV, PIV, molecular
tagging
velocimetry, etc. A little-used method that is in principle
much simpler than the aforementioned techniques is Photobleaching
Velocimetry. A particularly attractive feature of this technique is
that a single beam may be used for both tagging and probing, though
for some applications separate beams may be desirable. A
significant weakness of PV is that typically high laser power is
needed to obtain sufficient photobleaching that significant
contrast between low-velocity (highly-bleached) and high-velocity
(less-bleached) regions can be obtained.; Recently, it was
discovered that this disabling of fluorescence does not occur in
the absenceof light and is a kinetically controlled process in the
presence of light, and is reversible on a muchlonger time scale,
thus the photobleaching solutions are re-usable. Furthermore, the
laser intensityper unit volume of photobleached solution with the
laser path is on the order of a few mW/cm3,thus no significant
heating of the water occurs.; The circular pipe and Taylor-Couette
flows were tested to test the viability of dithionitesensitized
photobleaching as a
velocimetry tool. As results of experiment, the
relationship between fluorescence intensity and the known local
velocity was nearly linear for a circular pipe flow. However, the
observed relation was a linear, but not matched well due to wall
curvature for the TC flow. To analyze this result, the numerical
simulation was studied. According to this numerical analysis, the
bleaching rate coefficient, fluoresced light coefficient and
Gaussian beam width were found. The bleaching rate coefficient was
matched very well with experiment result. So, if we assume the
velocity with given coefficients or we know the intensity, the
intensity will be estimated or the velocity will be calculated
using this
velocimetry.; In future studies, the utility of this
photobleaching
velocimetry will be tested in a turbulent pipe flow,
the 4-roll mill and TC flow with a minimized curvature effect. If
these studies further confirm the viability of the technique, it
may emerge as a simple, easily interpreted alternative to LDV or
PIV in many liquid-flow
velocimetry applications.

▼ Riblet surfaces have been introduced as of one
successful technique to reduce skin-friction. Advanced particle
image velocimetry (PIV) and particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) are
employed to investigate turbulent structures over riblet surfaces
by several researchers including Suzuki and Kasagi (1994), Lee and
Lee (2001) and Sasamori et al. (2014). However, a complete
characterization of turbulent statistics including mean velocity,
and three components of turbulence intensities and vorticities over
riblet surfaces is still missing due to difficulties in measurement
of small-scale near-wall turbulence. The capabilities of the planar
and volumetric PIV and PTV in capturing three dimensional
structures of the turbulent flow over a riblet surface with the
groove spacing of 750 μm (s+ = 11) has been investigated at Reτ =
147. The two-dimensional measurements are carried out using the
planar PIV and high-magnification long-range micro-PTV. The
three-dimensional techniques include tomographic-PIV (tomo-PIV) and
3D-PTV which were carried out at high tracer density of 0.02
particle per pixel (ppp). Measurements over the riblet surface are
evaluated in comparison with the measurements over a smooth
surface, direct numerical simulation (DNS) of the turbulent flow in
a smooth channel at Reτ = 150, and previous investigations of
turbulent statistics over riblet surfaces. Reduction of
skin-friction is calculated to be 6.1% and 7.5% from the velocity
profiles in the linear viscous sublayer from 2D-PTV and profiles of
the Reynolds stress from 2D-PIV, respectively. Reductions of the
maximum streamwise, wall-normal and spanwise turbulence intensity
are characterized to be 5.9%, 9.4% and 9.4%, respectively, over the
riblet surface from 2D-PIV and 3D-PTV compared to those on the
smooth surface. Three components of the fluctuating vorticity over
the riblet surface measured by a tomo-PIV are first shown in
experimental riblet study but no changes are spotted compared to
the vorticities in the smooth surface case. As a relatively new
skin-friction reduction (SFR) technique, superhydrphobic surfaces
(SHSs) are capable of reducing skin-friction by entrainment of air
pockets in the surface. Improvement of SFR over riblet surfaces are
expected when the surfaces with riblets are coated with
superhydrophobic layers. However, with only two studies by Barbier,
Jenner, and D’Urso (2012) and Prince, Maynes, and Crockett (2014)
in the area, it needs more detailed investigation if the SHSs are
able to help riblets achieve additional SFR. The effect of riblets
combined with superhydrophobic coating on skin-friction is studied
by means of a planar PIV at Reτ = 141. The evaluation was acquired
by comparing results between riblet surfaces with and without
superhydrophobic coatings. The wall-normal turbulence intensities
and the Reynolds shear stress over the coated smooth surface are
both reduced by about 5% compared to the smooth surface, indicating
the SFR. The analysis of the longevity of the SHS over the smooth
surface reveals the loss of SHS in…

▼ Obtaining reliable experimental airflow data within an indoor environment is a challenging task and critical in studying and solving indoor air quality problems. The Hybrid Particle Tracking
Velocimetry (HPTV) system is aimed at fulfilling this need. It was developed based on existing Particle Tracking Velocimety (PTV) and Volumetric Particle Tracking
Velocimetry (VPTV) techniques. The HPTV system requires three charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras to view the illuminated flow field and capture the trajectories of the seeded particles. By adopting the hybrid spatial matching and object tracking algorithms, this system can acquire the 3-Dimensional velocity components within a large volume with relatively high spatial and temporal resolution.
Synthetic images were employed to validate the performance of three components of the system: image processing, camera calibration and 3D velocity reconstruction. These three components are also the main error sources. The accuracy of the whole algorithm was analyzed and discussed through a back projection approach. The results showed that the algorithms performed effectively and accurately. The reconstructed 3D trajectories and streaks agreed well with the simulated streamline of the particles.
As an overall testing and application of the system, HPTV was applied to measure the airflow pattern within a full-scale, five-row section of a Boeing 767-300 aircraft cabin mockup. A complete experimental procedure was developed and strictly followed throughout the experiment. Both global flow field at the whole cabin scale and the local flow field at the breathing zone of one passenger were studied. Each test case was also simulated numerically using a commercial computational fluid dynamic (CFD) package. Through comparison between the results from the numerical simulation and the experimental measurement, the potential model validation capability of the system was demonstrated. Possible reasons explaining the difference between experimental measurement and model prediction were discussed.

▼ Furthering our knowledge of respiratory fluid dynamics is greatly beneficial to understanding lung diseases and improving aerosol drug delivery and mechanical ventilatory techniques. To this end, we develop an in-vitro platform to study detailed flow features in human airways. Idealized and realistic replicas of the bronchial tree are inserted in a flow loop circulating aqueous fluid, and detailed information on the structure-function relationship is collected using Magnetic Resonance Velocimetry (MRV) and refractive-index-matched Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). By ‘structure’ here we indicate the anatomical and morphological features, while ‘function’ refers to momentum transport and mixing. We extract and analyze velocity and vorticity fields, as well as flow descriptors that characterize the longitudinal and lateral dispersion along the bronchial tree. We consider regimes of steady inhalation, steady exhalation, and oscillatory ventilation for a range of physiologically relevant Reynolds (Re = 100 – 5000) and Womersley (Wo = 1.2 – 12) numbers. Longitudinal dispersion is found to be higher during inhalation, while lateral dispersion is higher during exhalation. Counter-rotating streamwise vortices are observed along the airway tree due to the local curvature of the branches (Dean mechanism) and constitute one of the main transport mechanisms. At the higher Re, however, inertia induces significant non-local effects, and the vortices are transported across successive generation of bronchial branching. Flow reversal, a phenomenon consequential for gas mixing, particle transport and mechano-transduction at the epithelium, is also identified in both idealized and realistic airway geometries during steady and oscillatory regimes. The net flow drift during the ventilation cycle (steady streaming) is experimentally evaluated for the first time, and found to be much smaller than the advective flow, although not insignificant for the realistic airway geometry. The instantaneous flow fields and Reynolds stresses measured in the idealized airway model indicate great sensitivity to the inflow conditions, and show that the flow at the bifurcation is prone to unsteadiness even at regimes sometimes treated as laminar in earlier numerical studies.

▼ In a pressurized water reactor (PWR), pressurized water flows over fuel rods containing radioactive uranium. Potential failure of these nuclear fuel rods is a primary concern, as fuel rod failure typically results in power generation losses and reactor downtime. Thermal parameters such as critical heat flux have traditionally been utilized as performance metrics to ensure that the reactor core remains stable even during failure events. Recently, fuel leaking events have occurred which have resulted in excess debris buildup on fuel rods and fuel grid array mixing devices. Understanding the flow field surrounding these nuclear fuel rods is critical in predicting where crud could deposit. Although CFD simulations have been conducted to characterize the fluid flow around fuel rod bundles, limited experimental data characterizing the mechanics of this fluid flow exists in the current literature.
This study will present experimental data collected detailing the fluid flow around a rod bundle geometry using a novel matched refractive index particle tracking
velocimetry (PTV) technique over a 3D volume cross section of a prototypical nuclear fuel rod bundle.
Velocimetry tracking will be performed in order to characterize the mechanics of the fluid flow. Using optical distortion mitigation techniques and various image processing methods, data from multiple cameras was used to assemble 3-dimensional velocity information of a turbulent fluid region. Results are compared to the solution of a k-epsilon unsteady RANS numerical simulation.

▼ This study on the hydrodynamics of fishing gear focuses on fish nets. A multi-scale concept has been introduced. By decomposing the fish net structure into 4 distinct scales of flow structure interaction (twine, node, mesh and substructure scales) the complexity is reduced with the potential to integrate new knowledge at each scale to form an overall picture of flow-gear interactions. Within the scope and time-frame of the project, experiments were carried out at the twine and mesh scales. Two sets of experiments were designed at twine scale. The first featured synchronous velocity and drag force measurements on various rigid cylinders consisting of circular cylinders and cylinders inspired by twisted twine. The second aimed to study the cylinder near-wakes in greater detail than previously using PIV. At mesh scale, experiments using rigid bi-plane grids were conducted with individual focus on investigating grid turbulence and flow-grid interactions respectively. The twisted cylinders did not affect mean drag, likely due to free-stream turbulence acting on the boundary layers and free shear layers possibly negating the effects of the twisted cylinder geometry. In the near-wake, the twisted cylinders deflected the free stream into the wake and secondary vortices were introduced, shed along the cylinder span, de-correlating the flow field and in one instance, destroying regular vortex shedding. At mesh scale, for low solidities, a limiting value for mesh length was found where the total drag was dominated by individual contribution of bars. The key to altering the turbulence properties of the flow was found to be alteration of the spectral energy in the largest turbulence scales. For turbulence generation, the spectral energy should be increased and for turbulence suppression, spectral energy should be decreased in the largest turbulence scales.

▼ A closed loop wind tunnel designed to study film cooling was completed in May 2011 along with a removable wake generating device. The test section featured a three blade, four passage linear cascade utilizing the Air Force Office of Scientific Research L1A low pressure turbine blade. The wake generator is unique because its blades are flat plates with round leading and trailing edges instead of circular rods. In this report, the test section of the wind tunnel is characterized and validated through velocity and pressure measurements in the test section. Hot-wire surveys were used to characterize the velocity and turbulence intensity. An in-house designed pressure blade along with Scanivalve pressure sensing equipment was used to acquire the static pressure on the surface of the center blade in the cascade. Incoming velocity results showed the profiles were uniform in both the horizontal and vertical directions. The turbulence intensity in the incoming freestream air was 0.20%. Installing the wake generator had no effect on the incoming velocity profiles. Experimental coefficient of pressure results with the wake generator installed were very close to the AFOSR results and fluctuated slightly when the wake generator was running. However, the overall shift in the coefficient of pressure magnitude as the wakes passed was small. Downstream velocity measurements in the wake of the cascade confirmed periodicity in the cascade. When the wake generator was running, the passing wakes effectively decreased the velocity and increased the turbulence intensity in the cascade wake, and caused the cascade wake to shift towards the suction side. It also increased the width of the cascade wake. Based on these results, the wind tunnel appears to be operating as designed and should produce adequate results in future film cooling measurements.

▼ To further efforts for studying the TAMU air-cooled Reactor Cavity Cooling System (RCCS) experimental test facility, Laser Doppler
Velocimetry (LDV) experiments have been conducted to acquire data on the instantaneous streamwise and spanwise components of velocity at various locations inside the upper plenum. These experiments were performed under steady-state conditions, both heated and adiabatic, using four active risers. The apparatus used for data acquisition consisted primarily of a 2-D laser head mounted onto a 3-D traverse system. Olive oil particles with an average diameter of 0.745 µm were utilized for seeding the flow.
The data from these experiments has been necessary for characterizing the experimental facility by verifying the system’s repeatability and performance. In addition, LDV measurements have provided means of comparison for previously acquired PIV measurements. The compared parameters include the streamwise velocity component, as well as the streamwise and spanwise components of the turbulent intensity and the Reynolds stresses.
Based on these comparisons, several differences were found between the two techniques. First, the PIV turbulent statistics did not generally agree well with those of the LDV measurements. However, data points located at regions of higher elevation tended to have better agreement. These higher regions are characterized by velocity gradients significantly smaller than those found at lower elevations. This fact may aid in explaining the discrepancies between the techniques, since PIV is known to underperform on regions with high velocity gradients. In addition, it is suspected that the number of samples for PIV, 150 in total, were insufficient for obtaining reasonable statistics. This is in contrast to LDV, which had 1500 samples per data point. Second, the comparison between the techniques appear to agree better for the adiabatic case than the heated case. Since the heated case has additional turbulence fluctuations induced by thermal mixing, this may have hindered the PIV measurements. Third, the turbulence intensities were consistently overestimated by PIV. This led to the conclusion that the PIV data contained significantly more noise than LDV data.
Aside from comparisons between the two techniques, several experiments were conducted to test the repeatability and accuracy of the LDV measurements. It was found that the LDV measurements exhibited good accuracy and a high level of repeatability. Throughout these measurements, the standard deviation percentage was found to be no greater than 10%. More importantly, when averaging the values of all data points at each respective each elevation, the average value ranged between 2.2% and 3.5%.

▼ Light field imaging, specifically synthetic aperture (SA) refocusing is a method used to combine images from an array of cameras to generate a single image with a narrow depth of field that can be positioned arbitrarily throughout the volume under investigation. Creating a stack of narrow depth of field images at varying locations generates a focal stack that can be used to find the location of objects in three dimensions. SA refocusing is particularly useful when reconstructing particle fields that are then used to determine the movement of the fluid they are entrained in, and it can also be used for shape reconstruction. This study applies SA refocusing to reacting flows and microscopic flows by performing shape reconstruction and 3D PIV on a flame, and 3D PIV on flow through a micro channel. The reacting flows in particular posed problems with the method. Reconstruction of the flame envelope was successful except for significant elongation in the optical axis caused by cameras viewing the flame from primarily one direction. 3D PIV on reacting flows suffered heavily from the index of refraction generated by the flame. The refocusing algorithm used assumed the particles were viewed through a constant refractive index (RI) and does not compensate for variations in the RI. This variation caused apparent motion in the particles that obscured their true locations making the 3D PIV prone to error. Microscopic PIV (µPIV) was performed on a channel containing a backward facing step. A microlens array was placed in the imaging section of the setup to capture a light field from the scene, which was then refocusing using SA refocusing. PIV on these volumes was compared to a CFD simulation on the same channel. Comparisons showed that error was most significant near the boundaries and the step of the channel. The axial velocity in particular had significant error near the step were the axial velocity was highest. Flow-wise velocity, though, appeared accurate with average flow-wise error approximately 20% throughout the channel volume.

▼ Dans le cadre du design des assemblages combustibles, les écoulements turbulents induits par les grilles de maintien provoquent de fortes fluctuations de pression dues aux niveaux de vitesses du fluide induisant la vibration des crayons combustibles. Or ces vibrations sont une source de vieillissement accéléré et d’usure prématurée des assemblages combustibles dont l’origine convient d’être mieux analysée.Dans cette l'optique, des simulations numériques ont été utilisées pour prédire les niveaux de vitesses transverses ainsi que le niveau de turbulence en aval de la grille. Cependant, les codes CFD doivent être validés avec des mesures expérimentales conduisant ainsi à une meilleure compréhension des structures mis en jeu dans le processus de mélange. Or la caractéristique de ce type d'écoulement repose sur son caractère tridimensionnel entre les faisceaux de crayons où l'accès optique est limité et à l'heure actuelle, aucune mesure de vitesse 3D n'a été réalisée. C'est pourquoi nous nous proposons de présenter dans cette étude l'application d'une technique de mesure 3D résolue en temps dans une boucle hydraulique transparente. L’approche consiste à utiliser une stratégie de suivi, dans lequel des particules traceuses individuelles sont d'abord détectées dans l’écoulement et ensuite suivies dans le temps – PTV 3D.Cette thèse présente les résultats obtenus dans une veine d’essais hydraulique en utilisant une approche de suivi à l’aide de deux caméras. Dans un premier temps, une nouvelle extension de la technique de défocalisation permettant de récupérer les positions des particules dans le temps avec une caméra est présentée et la méthodologie pour récupérer les déplacements individuels est décrite. Des cas d’application et de validation de la technique sont présentés afin de mieux quantifier les erreurs de mesures. Ensuite, la boucle hydraulique est introduite et son écoulement caractérisé par des techniques établies de mesure de vitesse. Finalement, les mesures 3D à deux caméras sont réalisées et discutées.
In order to validate the numerical simulation of the mixing phenomena downstream a spacer grid in the reactor core, reaching the 3rd velocity component through experimental studies is of major importance since mechanical structures responses are linked to transverse velocities. Nevertheless the main difficulty relies on applying a non-intrusive velocimetry technique around obstacles composed of a vertical set of rods. So far only 1D and 2D temporal studies have been performed.Hence, numerical methods have been widely used to predict correctly those transverse velocities and the turbulence level downstream the grid. However, CFD codes are to be validated with experimental measurements leading to a better understanding of the detailed flow structure in the mixing process. Therefore we propose to present in this study the application of a 3D time resolved velocity measurement technique to a hydraulic test facility. The approach is to use a tracking strategy, in which individual particles are first detected then…

▼ The design and development of a MTV approach, based on
photobleaching, is discussed. The MTV techniques developed so far
for microfluidic application provide either only a one dimensional
flow measurement or use a grid and a structured mask for
macro-scale and micro-scale flows respectively. The developed
system is capable of resolving two dimensional flow velocity
information without the limitations associated with other
approaches. The salient feature of the presented approach is the
use of a laser scanner which allows unrestricted, repeatable and
accurate movement of the write laser within the field-of-view. An
assessment of the performance of the MTV system will be discussed
with a comparison to traditional μ-PIV. The aim of this technique
is to perform velocity measurements in a dielectrophoretic flow of
a mixture of nano-particles and the caged fluorescent dye, which
may show different flow behavior, possibly in two opposite
directions due to the charge on them.

▼ In this work, visualization experimental techniques that provide whole-field and multi-scale measurements of the liquid turbulence parameters, liquid and heater wall temperatures, and gas phase local parameters, were used to study subcooled boiling flow through a square channel. The explored visualization techniques were: 1) Particle tracking
velocimetry (PTV), which provides velocity measurements of the liquid phase, 2) High-speed shadowgraphy (HSS) which is used to study the dispersed phase dynamics. 3) Laser induced fluorescence thermometry (LIF) to measure whole-field liquid temperature fields. 4) High-speed infrared thermometry (IR-T), to study the impact of the boiling level on the heated wall temperature. A series of sensitivity studies were performed with which, knowledge for the optimal implementation of each technique was gained. Identification and quantification of uncertainties allowed to optimize the experimental conditions to achieve reliable and accurate liquid velocity measurements with the PTV technique. New procedures were designed to measure the average bubble velocity, bubble size, and void fractions. The single-nucleation site experiments provided optimal characteristics for the study of the bubble and liquid dynamics by means of PTV-shadowgraphy technique. This experiment simplified the quantification of the relationship that exist between the vapor and liquid parameters. From these results, new relationships and correlations are proposed to describe the near-wall liquid velocity behavior depending on local two-phase flow parameters. For the LIF thermometry, sensitivity studies were performed to evaluate the effects of excitation wavelength, dyes concentration ratios, solution pH, and selected emission bands on the temperature sensitivity of the two-color two-dye LIF thermometry technique. Temperature sensitivities of about 4% per °C were obtained, which is better than the traditionally used RhB-Rh60 solution which provides sensitivities of about 2% per °C. The present study is intended to lay down the experimental and data analysis foundations required to improve the understanding of subcooled flow boiling. This study also provides reliable and accurate experimental information for development and validation of two-phase flow computational models.

▼ Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are implanted in patients with a diseased ventricle to maintain peripheral perfusion or as a bridge to cardiac transplant. However, patients with an implanted LVAD, such as the HeartMate II (HMII), have experienced bleeding episodes in the abdomen. These incidents are likely caused by the cleavage or proteolytic breakdown of von Willebrand Factor (vWF), a protein in the clotting cascade. To determine the LVAD’s potential contribution to vWF mechanical destruction, in vitro studies were conducted to quantify the flow at the outlet of the HMII using particle image
velocimetry (PIV) and laser Doppler
velocimetry (LDV) under steady and pathophysiological conditions.
In the steady flow experiment, the HMII was connected in series with a compliance chamber and operated at 8800 ± 100 RPM with an 80 mmHg rise across the pump, producing a flow rate of 3.2 ± 0.1 L/min. The second experiment included a pulsatile pump with the LVAD and compliance chamber inducing pulsatility through the HMII for a total flow rate of 5.0 ± 0.1 L/min. The pulsatile pump was operating at a rate of 105 beats per minute with a stroke volume of approximately 50 mL. Velocity profiles, Reynolds shear stresses (RSS), Reynolds normal stresses (RNS), and turbulence intensities (TI) were used to visualize the outlet flow in the cannula both quantitatively and qualitatively.
Under both steady and pulsatile conditions, shear stresses orders of magnitude higher than those needed to unfurl and cleave vWF were observed in the outlet cannula. This evidence, in conjunction with high turbulence intensity values and stark contrasts in velocity profiles in certain regions, points to the positive correlation between continuous flow VADs and the potential proteolytic cleavage or mechanical destruction of vWF. Prolonged exposure of these flow conditions may lead to acquired von Willebrand Disease, which can lead to uncontrollable bleeding episodes in the abdominal region.

▼ This thesis work illustrates the first of its kind solution to this problem of lack of seeding at vortex core in air flows, by the use of Helium Filled Soap Bubble (HFSB) which is a neutrally buoyant tracer particle in air flows. To analyse the lack of seeding in the vortex core, a 2D numerical simulation of particle motion in vortex flow is studied. This enables to understand the dependence of trajectory of the particle on its density and diameter, in vortex flows. Thus, the numerical simulation helps to explain the reason behind the empty core with the use of micro-size smoke particles and, the completely filled core by the homogeneous distribution of HFSB in the vortex core region. Flow visualisation experiment is performed on Leading Edge Vortex of a delta-wing at a chord based Reynolds number of 2*105 and 4*105 The flow visualization experiment revealed an empty core at the center of the vortex with the use of micro-sized smoke particle as tracer. On the other hand, the use of neutrally buoyant HFSB resulted in a homogeneous distribution of particles, especially in the core region of the vortex. The vector fields obtained from stereoscopic PIV measurements with the use of micro-sized smoke as tracer particle, displays the loss of information in vortex ow particularly in axial velocity and axial vorticity fields. In contrast, the use of HFSB as tracer particle, resulted in particle filled vortex core and displays vector fields that are consistent with literature. The use of HFSB as tracer particle enabled to perform tomographic Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV) (3C-3D) on the Leading Edge Vortex. Tomo PTV performed on the vortex ow field enabled to obtain the velocity and vorticity fields in all three directions.

▼ The focus of this dissertation is on
turbomachinery blade vibration measurements and unsteady
fluid-structure interactions. Vibration of turbomachinery blades
are critical to jet engine durability and performance. The combined
high natural frequency of the vibrations and long service life of
modern jet engines can result in high cycle fatigue. There are two
main topics discussed in this dissertation. The first topic of this
dissertation is the investigation of unsteady fluid-structure
interactions an isolated compressor blade in transonic flow. This
was preferred as a simpler alternative to a cascade of blades. Note
that the boundary conditions of an single vibrating blade are much
simpler than those for a vibrating cascade, and so a more clear
understanding of the fundamental interactions are provided with the
simple setup. New insights were obtained regarding aerodynamic
damping and “quasi-steady" blade vibrations in transonic
flow. The second topic of this dissertation
discusses the development and application of a novel blade
vibration measurement technique. Accurate blade vibration
measurements are critical in product aero-mechanical design
validation and can be difficult to obtain. This measurement
technique, termed Blade Image
Velocimetry, provides an alternative
to the current measurement methods which is both easy to implement
and can have the potential to exceed the current accuracy of Blade
Tip Timing. The theory of measurement and uncertainty analysis and
benchtop validation measurements will be presented. This will be
followed by the application of the measurement technique to a high
speed axial compressor rotor. Tip deflections as low as 8um were
resolved by the measurement technique at a rotor tip speed of 350
m/s.

▼ Steady flow fields and flow-induced wall stresses have been evaluated by experimental measurements and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis in a series of patient-specific abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) models, over a range of Reynolds numbers (Re) from 125 to 3000 (500 to 3000 for CFD). Experimental methods used particle image
velocimetry (PIV) to evaluate velocity flow fields, wall shear stress, flow fields and pressure were predicted in corresponding AAA models. Both laminar and turbulent solutions were obtained at each Re, using k-ω techniques for turbulence simulation.
Qualitatively the measurements and predictions were in good agreement, especially with respect to velocity. AAA lumen shape was found to significantly alter flow structure, producing large recirculating vortices in the sacs of bulged lumens, but little to no vortical structure in nearly isodiametric lumens from patients with substantial intraluminal thrombus. Recirculating vortices were associated with adverse wall pressure gradients and retrograde, reduced wall shear stress. For example, CFD predicted at Re = 3000, wall shear stress to be near 8.0 dynes/cm2 in non-dilated aortas but only 2.2 dynes/cm2 within dilations. Quantitative agreement was limited between the measured and predicted wall shear stress and turbulence. Wall shear stress was in reasonable agreement between measurements and predictions at Re = 500, showing global wall shear stress mean values of 0.41 dyne/cm2 for experimental results versus 0.63 dyne/cm2 for computational results. However, at Re = 3000, the difference was much greater as the global wall shear stress mean value was 2.75 dyne/cm2 for experimental results versus 5.78 dyne/cm2 for computational results. Computational results associated separated flows with adverse wall pressure gradients, though experimental measurements did not confirm this. Experimental pressure measurements indicated that under these conditions, wall height was the greatest determinant of wall pressure. The complex flows formed within patient specific lumens seemed to promote turbulence, even in non-dilated sections. Turbulence was measured at all flow rates including Re = 125. At Re = 3000, fluctuating velocities of up to 0.7 times the overall mean velocity were found in the saccular dilation. Computational simulation produced lower turbulence than was found experimentally, with fluctuating velocities generally remaining below 0.1 times the overall mean velocity.
This investigation shows the importance of patient-specific analysis, and provides some description of the hemodynamic forces experienced at rest and exercise conditions. The quantitative disagreements between measured and predicted results also suggest that current computational techniques are not yet sufficiently accurate for reliable clinical predictions.

▼ The technologies and processes used in large scale cell bioprocessing, namelythe impeller based stirred suspension bioreactor, were designed for the growth of robustand often immortal cell lines to produce protein based therapeutics. The turbulent fluidenvironment created by such systems was not designed to accommodate the delicatenature of stem cell suspension culture - in particular, to maintain the low shear stressand homogeneity required to retain an undamaged cell and unaltered phenotype. Whilenew bioreactor designs have been developed to address the unique environmental needsof stem cell cultures, industrial volume scale-up is still unavailable.In this work, a novel biomimetic mixing mechanism utilizing a siliconediaphragm and an alternating actuation mechanism has been designed and developed toproduce adequate fluid mixing while maintaining a low shear stress environment. Theunique design, characterized on a bench-top scale, has been scaled-up over a range ofvolumes from 100 - 3000 ml. Using particle image velocimetry, the fluid dynamicscreated by the novel mixing mechanism were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed.The mixing mechanism produced adequate fluid mixing within the vessel whilemaintaining mean shear stress levels more than 100 times lower than seen in impellerbased spinner flasks. Furthermore, the mixing profile and mean shear stress levelsremained well below requirement levels regardless of reactor volume. Inconclusion, we have developed a novel mixing system which overcomes shear stresslimitations of current stirred suspension reactors in volumes ranging from 100-3000 ml.

▼ Research work was performed in cooperation with Delphi Automotive Systems to
optimize Particle Image
Velocimetry (PIV) measurements using the in-cylinder velocity flow
fields in Delphi's optical engine. It entailed comprehending PIV theory, making a purchased
PIV system work on Delphi's optical engine, investigation of PIV seeding techniques,
applying PIV to steady-state liquid and air flow fields, calibrating/validating the PIV system
operation, understanding the operation of Delphi's optical engine, performing optical engine
velocity flow field measurements, comparing measurement results with Delphi's
computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model, and optimizing the measurement technique for
varying 2-D velocity flow fields.
All the mentioned targets of the thesis were met by comprehending PIV theory and
applying this knowledge to make the purchased PIV system work on a liquid flow field. Then
seeding techniques for air flow fields were investigated and honed so that PIV could be
performed on Delphi's optical engine. The optical engine was used extensively and the
operation fully understood before any PIV data was taken on the engine. PIV data was
acquired on the engine and the results were compared with CFD models. From this
experimentation on the engine, a new analysis technique was developed to optimize the
acquisition of PIV data. The analysis technique is programmed in Labview and it provides
consistent data acquisition and savings in time. It also shows the possibility of CFD
prediction and is extendable to PIV applications other than the optical engine.

▼ This thesis presents an investigation of macro-scale
(>5mm) multi-wavelength acoustophoresis. This is a technique
used for the filtration of micro-particles from the containing
suspension. It uses the primary acoustic force generated by an
ultrasonic acoustic pressure standing wave. Primary acoustic force
is isolated in different multi-wavelength acoustic separator
experiments and imaging methods are used to capture the motion of
particles separating from the containing fluid. Different
investigation methods and models for analyzing the macro-scale
acoustic resonators are developed and the experimented acoustic
resonators are characterized. A particle tracking velocimetry (PTV)
approach for measuring individual particle motion is developed
specifically to track particles over the lifetime of their motion
as they densify to an acoustic pressure node. The applicability of
primary acoustic force theory to the macro-scale acoustic
resonators is validated by applying the PTV method to images of
densification of mono-disperse size and poly-dispersed size
particles. Utilizing the developed validated PTV method, the
acoustic energy density, a parameter that can only be derived from
experiments is also determined. A probability density function
(PDF) modeling the location of particles for determination of
acoustic energy density is also developed which is in agreement
with the PTV method. The influence of dampening and scattering of
the acoustic wave in macro-scale multi-wavelength is studied. This
is performed by variation of piezo-electric transducer (PZT)
voltage and changing the viscosity of the suspension by using
different solutions of glycerol in water. The resulting acoustic
energy density dependence on PZT voltage in macro-scale
multi-wavelength acoustic resonators is observed to be different
from that of micro-scale acoustic resonators. This effect, which is
visible in all different experimented suspensions, indicates that
macro-scale multi-wavelength acoustic resonators inherently show
more dampening effects than micro-scale acoustic
resonators.

▼ An experimental investigation of turbulent
non-Newtonian fluid flow and solids transport in horizontal
concentric annulus is the main subject matter of this research. In
the first part of this research, turbulent flow of water and
non-Newtonian fluids in horizontal annuli were investigated by
using the state of the art Particle Image Velocimetry technique.
Different aspects of turbulent flow such as frictional pressure
losses, velocity profiles, shear stress distributions and near wall
turbulent intensities were analysed. In the second part of the
study, solid transport experiments were conducted using turbulent
flow of water and polymer fluids. Various flow patterns of particle
transport (i.e. dunes or separated sand clusters) were identified.
Critical velocity and pressure loss required for initiating
particle movement in different transport mode (i.e. rolling or
saltation) were determined. Effects of fluid rheology (water vs.
non-Newtonian fluid) and cuttings size (fine vs. coarse particles)
on the critical conditions were investigated.

▼ Optical Coherence Tomography
Velocimetry (OCTV) is
a technique based on principals developed for medical imaging and
is used to measure the velocity as a function of sample depth for a
range of complex fluid systems, revealing insight into rheological
properties that are otherwise ignored by bulk rheometry methods.
The technique fulfils the requirements needed to study a wide range
of complex systems, being capable of measuring absolute velocity
and velocity fluctuations with high spatial and temporal
resolution, as well as in opaque materials.Improvements to the
instrumentation behind OCTV are described in detail, with
improvements to signal to noise being achieved through better
detection and the use of modulation techniques. The technique is
also demonstrated in a range of complex fluids including dense
suspensions of hard spheres, DNA solutions, polyacrylamide
solutions, bacteria and shampoo amongst others. Non-linear flow
behaviour is revealed that includes shear banding, wall slip and
elastic turbulence.X-ray scattering techniques are also discussed,
with results from recent experiments at the Diamond synchrotron
being presented.The commercial potential of OCTV is discussed in
depth, with analysis of the market of scientific instruments for
measuring flow, competitor analysis and a review of relevant
intellectual property. Methods to commercialise OCTV are discussed,
with licensing to an existing competitor being identified as the
means with the least risk and greatest chance of
success.

▼ Thermoacoustic devices are a group of systems that
make use of the thermoacoustic effect to achieve an energy
conversion between thermal and acoustic energy. The thermoacoustic
effect occurs when a solid boundary is introduced into an acoustic
field, and a non-zero net heat transportation takes place while the
net mass transfer remains null. Thermoacoustic technologies are
gaining an increasing research interest because of their potential
applications for building alternative prime movers or heat pumps
which do not use working fluids causing environmental damage and
require very little maintenance due to their lack of moving
part.However, the operation of this type of system is yet to be
fully understood: fluid flow and heat transfer processes within the
system components such as thermoacoustic stacks and heat exchangers
still require a lot of attention. The performance of the system
working with relatively low amplitude acoustic wave can be
predicted by the linear thermoacoustic theory, which is already
well developed. However, a high amplitude acoustic wave is usually
required in order to achieve high power density or high power
output. Unfortunately, the performance of such systems can be
seriously degraded due to nonlinear effects, such as turbulence,
minor loss or high proportion of harmonics. The lack of
understanding of these effects impedes the design and construction
of high efficiency systems.The work described in this thesis is
focused on the study of flow phenomena taking place around parallel
plate stack placed in a standing wave thermoacoustic resonator, by
using advanced flow diagnostics techniques such as particle image
velocimetry (PIV) and hot wire anemometry (HWA). In order to carry
out the experimental study, a standing wave thermoacoustic device
working at relatively low frequency of 13.1Hz was designed,
commissioned and tested. The frequency response of this device was
carefully investigated and compared with the analytical results
using linear acoustic equations and a linear model of the
loudspeaker. A further comparison with the analytical results
obtained with the modelling tool DeltaEC (Design Environment for
Low-amplitude Thermoacoustic Energy Conversion) was also presented.
The resonator was driven from low to large pressure amplitudes with
drive ratios up to 10%. A good agreement is obtained for small
amplitudes, but the discrepancies become larger when the driving
amplitude is increased. The analysis reveals that the large
discrepancy at high amplitude can be attributed to minor
losses.Following the above preliminary work, a more comprehensive
study of the flow field around parallel-plate stacks was conducted
by means of PIV and HWA. It was shown that the flow around the two
studied parallel-plate stacks exhibits rather complicated flow
features when the amplitude of the acoustic oscillation varies.
Symmetrical and asymmetrical vortex shedding phenomena are observed
and two distinct modes of generating ‘‘vortex streets’’ are
identified. It shown that a velocity related parameter such as…

▼ High speed turbulent flames can be found in most aerospace propulsion devices. In order to understand the behavior and phenomenological nature of combustion in these devices time resolved, non-invasive, in situ laser diagnostic measurements are needed. In this dissertation, laser diagnostics are used to study freely propagating turbulent premixed flames, and non premixed flames in a model scramjet combustor. In addition, a new laser method is developed to measure velocity profiles in reacting regions without seed particles.
Premixed turbulent flames have been studied extensively over burner stabilized flames. However, the flame propagation in these burners is usually affected by the burner itself resulting in a geometric dependent propagation. Therefore, a fundamental understanding of the interaction between turbulence and premixed flames is obscured. Alternatively, spherically propagating flames (also known as flame kernels) that do not have these geometric dependencies can be studied using flame bombs. While flame bomb studies have been very successful in elucidating the interaction between turbulence and premixed flames, they typically have limited optical access and a mean radial inflow which can inhibit flame propagation. Therefore, a new means of studying flame kernels is described using a turbulent wind tunnel where flame kernels are allowed to freely propagate downstream. The results obtained in this new device are compared with traditional flame bomb measurements.
The reaction progress of a non-premixed combustion inside a cavity-piloted scramjet combustor was determined by measuring all major species and temperature using spontaneous UV Raman scattering. A 70% CH4/30% H2 fuel blend was used to approximate the reactivity of liquid jet fuels, and minimize the number of Raman spectral lines to ensure tractable data sets. Inside the cavity, H2 fuel quickly burnt off while the CH4 and CO persisted until the fuel path reached the cavity shear layer.
Finally, a new molecular tagging
velocimetry method of obtaining non-seeded velocity measurements inside a reaction zone is described. This method uses a two-photon process to dissociate H2O and create vibrationally excited OH photofragments which can then be differentiated from flame generated OH radicals that are predominately in the vibrational ground state to make single-shot velocity measurements.
