Turbulent flow through a rectangular channel

Streamwise and normal turbulent velocity measurements were taken at 80 normal locations across a two-inch high rectangular water channel. A two polarization, three beam He-Ne Laser-Doppler Velocimetry system was used. The water channel was specifically designed and constructed to facilitate these optical measurements. It had negligible vibration and flow oscillation. Its length was 200 channel heights, sufficient to produce fully developed turbulent flow. The optical system had a specially designed optical table and traverse; optical glass windows were used as viewing ports.
