Hot-Wire Anemometer for the Boundary Layer Data System
<p>Hot-wire anemometry has been routinely employed for laboratory measurements of turbulence for decades. This thesis presents a hot-wire anemometer suitable for use with the Boundary Layer Data System (BLDS). BLDS provides a unique platform for in- flight measurements because of its small, …

An oscillating hot wire for measurements in separated flows
An oscillating-hot-wire system is developed to allow mean-flow velocity measurements in separated flows. Disturbance velocities can also be measured in regions of interest. An oscillating-arm assembly provides a directional bias to the hot-wire probe, and a linear-step assembly steps the probe …

Constant Voltage Hot-Wire Anemometry for the Boundary Layer Data System
… Layer Data System (BLDS), a constant voltage hot-wire anemometer (CVA) is implemented into the BLDS for flight-testing. The hot-wire anemometer was chosen as an alternative to the traditional pressure probe because of the ability to measure both average velocity and fluctuating velocity within …

Kinetic Roughening During Hot-Wire Chemical Vapor Deposition of Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon
… results from their action. In this dissertation, hot-wire chemical vapor deposition is used to deposit a-Si:H thin films. Both post-deposition atomic force microscopy (AFM) and in situ spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) are used to characterize the surface morphology and its dynamics. Results of this …

Visualisation of dynamic flow processes using a novel pulsed multi-element hot-wire anemometer.
… the development of a novel Single-Element Pulsed Hot-Wire Anemometer (SEPWA) and its multi-element applications to fluid flow visualisation. Unlike previous pulsed anemometers which have separate heating and sensing wires, the methods described here utilise a single wire as both heater and sensor. …

Electromagnetic modeling of hot-wire detonators using analytical and numerical methods with comparison to experiment
The electromagnetic (EM) characteristics of hot-wire detonators are determined in order to quantify more precisely their response to EM illumination. The analyses include a comprehensive study of detonators physical characteristics, which is then used to model detonators using transmission line …

The use of hot-wire anemometry in studying supersonic slot injection into a supersonic flow
… air stream (M = 2.91) was studied with a dual hot wire probe. This probe was used to simultaneously determine total temperature and mass flux. Mean profiles across the entire flow field at three axial stations (x/h = 4, 10, 20) were obtained, as well as the temperature and mass flux turbulence …
