LASER DOPPLER VELOCIMETRY

Laser Doppler velocimetry is a well-proven technique that measures fluid velocity accurately and non-invasively. Measurements are made at a point (a small, non-intrusive optical probe volume) defined by the intersection of two laser beams. As a particle passes through the probe volume, it scatters light from the beams into a detector. The frequency of the resulting Doppler burst signal is directly proportional to the particle velocity.

 

TSI LDV systems use patented techniques, cutting edge optical fiber components, and proven design features to give years of trouble-free, user-friendly, and cost effective service.

 

LDV system electronics provide accurate and reliable flow velocity data, including turbulence statistics, from all measurement situations - from simple flows to high speed, flames, combustion, near wall and other low SNR situations. With up to 800MHz sampling rate and photon-counting level sensitivity, only TSI electronics have the speed and efficiency to handle all your LDV measurement needs. Backed by over 20 years of producing laser Doppler systems, versatility is not only a design goal, it is actually built-in.

To learn more about LDV instrumentation and the many areas of research this system is involved in, attend TSI's Fluid Mechanics Webinar Series presented by our experts. Visit www.tsi.com/FMwebinars.

2011 PDPA/LDV TRADE-IN PROGRAM — TSI has extended the PDPA and LDV trade in program through 2011.  Receive a generous 20% off when you trade in any IFA, DSA, or RSA based signal processor and get a generous allowance on new FSA based hardware, including FlowSizer software. This is the complete FlowSizer software package, not a stripped down version. Your measurements will get a performance boost with the FSA 3500 or FSA 4000, while cost of ownership will drop dramatically. Start measuring those bursts down to 50ns transit time, rather than letting them slip away.
