Two-component instantaneous wall shear rate measurements in reversing flows

Fluid Dynamics 2017-10-17 v1

Abstract

Validation experiments of the two-dimensional inverse algorithm are performed in a pulsed Poiseuille flow exposing shear reversal phases. The method is applied to the three-segment electrodiffusion (ED) probe for which a specific nondimensionalization process is suggested, allowing to better link measurements from a real ED probe to the modeled one in the inverse problem. This approach provided a two-component wall shear rate in good agreement with the one obtained from laser Doppler anemometry (LDA) measurements, thus validating the ability of ED probes to deal with high-amplitude unsteady flows. The classic linear velocity approximation (u=syu=sy) in the probe vicinity is also investigated in such a flow.
