Three-segment electrodiffusion probes for measuring velocity fields close to a wall
Résumé
Three-segment electrodiffusion probes embedded in a wall allow to determine simultaneously the three kinematic parameters of flow close to the probe surface: the flow directionθ, the wall shear rateq, and the normal velocity coefficientA,v z = −A z 2. A well-controlled three-dimensional flow, generated by a rotating disk, was used to demonstrate the capabilities of this new kind of electrodiffusion probes by comparing experimental results with the prediction based on the well-known hydrodynamical theory.
