Mean velocities and turbulent characteristics in the three-dimensional flow fields of a gun-type gas burner were measured by using triple hot-wire probe (T-probe) in order to compare them with the results already presented by X-type hot-wire probe (X-probe). Vectors obtained by the measurement of two kinds of probes in the horizontal plane and in the cross section respectively show more or less difference in magnitude each other, but comparatively similar shape in overall distribution. Axial mean velocity component along the centerline shows that the value by T-probe is about ten times smaller than that by X-probe above the range of X/R=3. Also, the axial component of turbulent intensity along the centerline appears the biggest difference between the two probes. Moreover, axial mean velocity component, axial turbulent intensity component and rotational along the Y-directional distance show a big difference between slits and swirl vanes. On the whole, the values by T-probe appear smaller than those by X-probe.

A triple hot-wire probe has an essential potentiality for the measure- ment of an instantaneous velocity vector in a three dimensional unsteady flow with large amplitude of velocity fluctuations, the key problems asso- ciated with this instrument are the directional range of applicability and the accuracy. This present paper is concerned with a new method of the techniques of calibration and data processing to estimate the three dimensional flow field using an arbitrary shaped triple hot-wire probe. The method is not based on the assumptions of orthogonality or symmetry and it is especially useful for applications to a hand-made probe where probe geometry is not accurately known. The test application is made to evaluate the effect of cone angles of symmetric non-orthogonal probe.

Easy measurement method of orthogonal triple-sensor hot-wire anemometer is developed. Advantages of the new method is that it does not require either the exact orthogonality of the installed wires which cannot be kept during the probe manufacture and repair, nor the knowledge of the wire installation angles and the yaw and pitch coefficient of the wires. The new method introduced yaw and pitch calibration coefficients which are designed to increase monotonically with yaw and pitch angles. So the resulting calibration network is simple to recognize compared with that of the previously suggested calibration method. Verification experiments showed good accuracy and independency of the directional calibration on velocity.

Performance and flow characteristics of a small forward swept propeller fan for home refrigerators are studied experimentally. An unusual discontinuity is observed in the performance curve of the fan. Mean flow fields measured with as-hole Pitot probe reveal that the flow is axial at the high flow rate and radial at the low flow rate. The flow structure changes abruptly across the discontinuity. Unsteady flow measurements with a set of hot-wire probes indicate that near the discontinuity a single-cell stall rotates at 40% speed of the fan speed, while away from the discontinuity the flow shows periodic variation corresponding to the blade passage frequency. Phase-lock averaged flow fields measured with a triple-sensor hot-wire probe show that there appears radially inward flow over the pressure side of the blade and the outward passage flow over the tip.

열.유체유동 중 난류에 대한 유동현상은 매우 광범위한 영역에서 나타나기 때문에 그 응용성이 매우 크게 작용되어 상업용 설비, 항공기, 자동차, 연소기 및 각종 스포츠 등에 이르기까지 넓게 적용되고 있다. 본 계측법은 특히 기하학적 형상에 좌우되지 않는 범용데이터 처리와 결부시켜 이용하는 것으로 최근 컴퓨터의 보급이 활발히 정착됨에 따라 보다 정확한 방법으로 난류의 정량적인 자료와 정성적인 난류구조를 계측하기 위하여 컴퓨터와 온라인으로 연결한 열선한 열 선유속계의출력을 통계해석에 의해 분석하는 방법이 시도되고 있는 것이다. 끝으로 이 글에서 언급한 삼축 열선 프로브는 프로브의 제작에 대한 고도의 기술과 프로브의 겁사체적을 되도록 작게 해야 하는 과제를 안고 있으며, 이러한 문제들은 제작기술의 발달로 점차 해결되고 있으며 적용대상이 크기 때문에 앞으로 많이 이용 될 것으로 기대되는 바이다.
