Engine Measurement Systems
Dr. Christian Willert

Objectives:

Development and application of laser optical measurement techniques for the aerothermodynamic investigation of aero engine components

  • development of measurement systems with special design to application demands to achieve best possible measurement accuracy
  • development of new measurement systems to contribute to the desired progress in turbomachinery research
  • application of the mobile measurement system in home and on customers site
  • design and adaptation of test rigs for measurement application.

Applications:

statonary and periodically instationary reacting and non reacting flows in:

axial and centrifugal compressors, axial and radial turbines (rotor and stator), cascades, flames, combustion chambers, nozzles, tubeflows, windtunnels and in-flight applications

Qualifications:

Engineers and physicists with special knowledge in:

optics, electronics, spectroscopy, lasers, particle generation and sizing, light guide fibers, experimental thermodynamics, photodetectors, CCD-cameras, data processing, process control, digital image processing etc.

CARS - Coherent anti-Stokes Raman Spectroskopy
Dr.rer.nat. Michael Fischer


In real combustion chambers mixing and residence time of the reactants at specific pressures and temperatures are of major importance for the combustion efficiency and the reduction of pollutants.

DGV - Doppler Global Velocimetry
Dr.rer.nat. Guido Stockhausen, Dr.phil.Christian Willert


Doppler Global Velocimetry (DGV) is a velocity measurement technique capable of recovering planar three-component velocity data. The method relies on a direct measurement of the frequency-shifted light scattered by moving particles suspended in the flow under investigation (i.e. Doppler effect).

L2F - Laser-2-Focus (or LT - Laser Transit) Velocimetry


The Laser-2-Focus (L2F) technique is applied in the non-intrusive measurement of flow velocity vectors in gases and liquids. Here the velocity of extremely small particles is recorded which are usually present in all technical flows or may be added if required.

PLIF - Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence
Dr.rer.nat. Johannes Heinze


Planar LIF is a laser based measurement technique for non intrusive studies of combustions and flows. The ultraviolet light of a pulsed laser system is formed to a vertical sheet (stripe) and focussed into the combustion or flow e.g. into the near development field of a burning spray.

PIV – Particle Image Velocimetry
Dr.-Ing. Melanie Voges, Dr.phil. Christian Willert


Measurements of instantaneous velocity fields could be done with the time and place high-resolution Particle-Image-Velocimetry (PIV). This technique is a scientific tool for qualitative and quantitative investigations of flow fields.

QLS - Quantitative Light Scattering Technique
Dipl.-Ing. Melanie Voges, Dr.phil. Christian Willert


QLS is designed as a planar laser optical measurement technique for the quantification of the mass concentration in mixing flows. It is based on elastically scattered laser light (Mie scattering), where the luminant sources are small scattering particles that have to be added to one of the flow components.
