Department of Aerospace Engineering at SDSU<br><br>ABSTRACT: Motivated by the fact that there was a lack of an appropriate means for measurement of the instantaneous spatial pressure field in fluid dynamics research, a novel system and technique capable of performing such a measurement in a non-intrusive manner in turbulent flow fields was developed (Liu and Katz, Exp Fluids 2006, Phys. Fluids 2008, JFM 2013). Originally utilizing four-exposure PIV, and later on a time-resolved version with a high-speed camera and a high repetition rate laser, the system measures the distribution of material acceleration by comparing the velocity of the same group of particles at different time, and then integrates to obtain the pressure field. In order to minimize the error in the pressure field measurement, an efficient algorithm featuring virtual boundary omni-directional integration over the entire flow field was introduced and the corresponding code was developed. With this system, the instantaneous velocity, material acceleration, and pressure field can be measured simultaneously. In addition to the principles, procedures and development history, in this presentation I will also show example applications of the pressure measurement technique in unsteady fluid dynamics, acoustics and turbulence research. A central theme of several research initiatives currently being carried out at SDSU is focused on establishing a time-resolved 3D velocity and pressure measurement technique and system, which couples the tomographic PIV together with the extension of the 2D pressure reconstruction method to 3D. As will be discussed, this opens up the prospect of direct measurement of all components of the fluctuating pressure-strain rate tensor in turbulent flows for the first time, and subsequently enabling experimental data-based improvement in pressure-strain turbulence models.<br><br>HOST: Dr. Satchi Venkataraman<br><br>For future events, please visit our website at:<br><br><a href="http://www.csrc.sdsu.edu/colloquium.html" target="_blank">http://www.csrc.sdsu.edu/colloquium.html</a>
