Summary
A Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system has been successfully applied in the large low-speed wind tunnel (LLF) of the German Dutch Wind Tunnels (DNW). The described system was developed for the DNW by the German Aerospace Research Establishment (DLR). The system equipment and the measurement results of a wake vortex investigation behind an Airbus half-model in the DNW are presented in this paper. The PIV-data were compared with five-hole probe data, which were measured at the same downstream location. The comparison of data and the demonstration show that industrial PIV measurements will be possible in large low-speed wind tunnels in the near future.
