Many flows including atmospheric turbulence and pneumatic transport involve charged aerosols, where the electric forces between particles affects particle dynamics in a complex way. We devised a novel technique to measure bipolar charge distributions in polydispersed particle samples. The technique uses common optical hardware and a novel particle sizing algorithm for polydispersed size distributions. A charged particle sample is introduced into a vertical channel air flow and a horizontal electric field. For each particle, In-line digital holography is used to simultaneously track particle positions over successive holograms and decode size information from hologram interference fringes. This enables measurement of the electric-force-induced horizontal component of terminal velocity and the particle size. From velocity and size, particle charge is calculated using a force balance, assuming Stokes drag on spherical particles. Two experiments were conducted, one to validate HDI measurements of a bipolarly charged particle sample against an electrometer, and the other to demonstrate particle size effect on triboelectric charging of aerosols in a fan-driven isotropic turbulence chamber. The HDI setup was configured for each experiment, and measurement uncertainty was estimated. Experiment 1 found good agreement (<5%) in mean charge between measurements by HDI and the electrometer.
