VISUALIZING THE VELOCITY PROFILE OF AIR FLOW BY MEANS OF THE ULTRASONIC TRANSLATION TIME COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY METHOD

Abstract

The technique of computed tomography (CT) was used to estimate the velocity profile of axisymmetric flow of air from the average velocity, obtained from ultrasonic (US) flowmeter, over 4 different paths of propagation of ultrasonic wave. 2 experiments, where motor fan and air compressor were used as the air source, were performed and the results are repoered.
