PRELIMINARY RESULTS FROM A PARTICLE IMAGE VELOCIMETRY STUDY OF BLADE-VORTEX INTERACTION
The results of a blade-vortex interaction (BVI) study incorporating particle image velocimetry (PIV) are presented. Test cases encompass a variety of intersection geometries, including head-on parallel interactions. Results provide quantified flow visualisation images of the flows generated near the blade tip and inboard during interactions. PIV results are examined in the light of understanding gained from previous pressure measurements made from the same BVI facility. Both the difficulties and the advantages of utilising the PIV technique in this application are discussed.
