Hydroxyl TAGGING VELOCIMETRY |

|
Hydroxyl Tagging velocimetry (HTV)
measures gas velocities by "writing" a line(s) of hydroxyl (OH) molecules
into a water vapor-containing gas mixture, and then after a delay time
"reading" the displaced position of the OH line(s). Velocity is determined
by dividing displacement by delay time. The writing process occurs via
photodissociation of water vapor using a focused beam of 193 nm light from a
pulsed excimer laser. The read process occurs via fluorescence of the OH
line using a second pulsed laser system (either a 248 nm narrowband, tunable
excimer laser or a UV pulsed dye laser system).
