Description:
A review of Doppler Global Velocimetry (DGV) data obtained during wind tunnel tests on a 75 degree swept delta wing was performed. High frequency variations observed in normalized data files are attributed to image alignment problems. Unfortunately, initial DGV velocity data compared poorly with baseline reference data. Nonlinear DGV system operation during the tests is the likely source of this problem. Corrected data compares much more favorably and suggests that DGV is a valid measurement technique. Future DGV investigations should include a method or means for monitoring laser frequency relative to the ALF transfer function behavior.
