Abstract
One of the most challenging and time-consuming problems in experimental fluid mechanics is the measurement of the overall flow field properties, such as the velocity, vorticity, and pressure fields. Local measurements of the velocity field (i.e., at individual points) are now done routinely in many experiments using hot-wire (HW) or laser velocimetry (LV). However, many of the flow fields of current interest, such as coherent structures in shear flows or wake flows, are highly unsteady. HW or LV data of such flows are difficult to interpret, as both spatial and temporal information of the entire flow field are required and these methods are commonly limited to simultaneous measurements at only a few spatial locations.
