Abstract
The development of optoelectronic methods for measuring through a multiphase barrier in the study of a dispersed component in experiments on modeling the natural and technical hydrodynamic systems is a pressing issue. The difficulties of direct measurements under hurricane conditions necessitate laboratory measurements. Spray formation was studied in detail during the laboratory experiments in the high-speed wind-wave channel (WWC) at the Institute of Applied Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IAP RAS). A modern, non-contact optical method for diagnosing two-phase flows-laser Doppler anemometry (LDA)-was used to measure the kinematic characteristics of the aerosol flow. Experiments were carried out to measure the aerosol droplet aerodynamics in WWC of IAP RAS. It was demonstrated that the measuring system enables to measure all three components of the aerodynamic flow velocity through a multiphase barrier at wind speeds from 10 to 40 m/s over a wide range of conditions. The results of measurements were compared with the readings of the Pitot tube, and good agreement and reproducibility of the experimental results were shown.
