Abstract

The goal of developing a holocinematographic velocimeter (HCV) is to provide a technique to study the evolution of instantaneous 3-D velocity profiles in turbulent flow fields. The method tracks individual seed particles that have been introduced into the flow. An imaging system using far-field holography is used to provide a full field of view tracking. Velocity information is determined from measured particle displacements of sequential hologram reconstruction. This study examines the resolution limits of far-field holography as applied to the HCV. The results aid in the determination of required seeding concentrations, establish the ability to resolve particle centers, and illustrate the use of a dual TV camera system to aid resolution. A straightforward enhancement technique provides a means to eliminate noise and reduce out of image plane ambiguity.
