Abstract
Most flows encountered in nature and in practical applications are turbulent flows which are specified by high rate velocity fluctuations. In stationary flows, flow fluctuations are merely originated from flow turbulence and hence are completely of randomness. Depending upon the environmental flow conditions, the fluctuation frequency may reach the level of thousands of hertz. For measurements of turbulent flows with such a high velocity fluctuation rate, the LDA method probably provides a most efficient tool. It is non-intrusive, highly accurate and able to highly resolve the flow both in the time and spatial extensions.
