  • Jamie Fleischfresser
  • August 5th, 2004
  • Advisor: Professor Crimaldi
  • REU 2004


2
Outline:
  • Current Lab Projects
  • Overview of Project
  • LDA Components
  • Data Computing


3
Crayfish reaction to Smell
  • Water Flume
  • Rhodamine 6G
  • 3D Laser





4
Crayfish Reaction to Smell
  • Water Turbulence
  • Tracking device
  • Crayfish Habitat
  • Analyze the 3D data
5
Broadcast Spawning
  • How does turbulence affect the regeneration of coral reefs?
  • Eggs and sperm ejected in to the ocean undergo turbulent dispersion
  • Models predict .01%-1% success rate
    • reality shows 5%-90% success rate
6
Lab Set up
  • New Flume
    • characteristics
  • New LDA
    • software
    • data profiles

7
Data Model

  • Axis
    • U+=Umean/Ut
    • Z+=(Z*Ut)/v
  • Navier-Stokes approximations
    • U+=Z+
    • U+=1/k*ln(Z+)+5.5






8
Data Model

  •  Spalart’s Reynold
    • 300, 670, 1410




9
Previous Lab work
  • ADV
    • 1 cm sample area
    • obstructs the water
    • good for estimates  in field work
10
LDA
  • 100 micron measuring volume
    • closer wall values
  • program automatic traverse
11
Comparison; LDA Pros
  • Non-contact optical measurement
  • No Calibration (drift)
    • not affected by T or P
  • High Spatial and Temporal Resolution
  • Multi-component systems
12
Principles of LDA
  • Gas laser
    • Gausian distribution
  • Beam splitter
    • 3 separate beams
  • Brag Cell
    • distinguishes difference between positive and negative frequencies

13
Principles of LDA
  • LDV
    • non invasive measurement flow velocity
  • Parallel beams
    • lense causes crossing
14
Principles of LDA
  • Waves from incident beams make a fringe
  • Particles cause scattering of light
    • collected by the receiver
15
Principles of LDA
  • Light intensity vs. time is processed by a doppler burst
  • Frequency of the electric signals is used to find the velocity of the water
16
Data Analysis
  • Profiles
    • Umean, Z, Wmean, UxW
  • Matlab
    • Re=Ufree*Q/v
    • where:
    • Q= ò (U(z)/Ufree)*(1u(z)/Ufree)*dz
  • Match it to Spalart
  • Changes in Variables
