REPEATABILITY OF LASER-DOPPLER VELOCIMETRY EXPERIMENTS FOR INDUSTRIAL PIPE-FLOW ANALYSIS

• Abstract:

  We study the repeatability of laser-Doppler velocimetry experiments for pipe-flow analysis. For single-point velocity measurements, we find repeatability standard deviations of approximately 0.5 % in the core region whereas measurements close to the wall are de-facto unrepeatable. We discuss how repeatability data may be used to verify uncertainty budgets and how it could be included in revised uncertainty budgets in view of established guidelines such as GUM and ISO 21748.
