Airflow Measurements Using PIV/LDV are Characterized by Accuracy and Low Operation Costs when Utilizing Air-Filled Soap Bubble Seeding

With the help of the TSI Micro Bubble Generator BG-1000, your airflow measurements are performed with very high accuracy and spatial resolution as well as low operation costs.Are you studying airflows in wind tunnels or other airflow environments? Are you considering using a bubble generator, or perhaps you are using one already to produce tracer particles for your flow measurements?
The outcomes of your PIV/LDV airflow measurements are important, and the accuracy of the results and the operating costs play a major role in evaluating the success of fluid mechanics measurement campaigns.

Accuracy and Low Operating Costs with Air-Filled Micro Bubbles

The TSI Micro Bubble Generator BG-1000 requires nothing more than air in combination with a mixture of soap and distilled water to produce micro bubbles as tracer particles. Even better, unlike large helium bubbles, the patented micro bubble generation process keeps the air-filled soap bubbles small, allowing them to follow the airflow more precisely than large bubbles and as a result, resolve much smaller structures and boundary layers. Furthermore, the smaller the bubble size, the lower the risk of deformation under shear stress, which could lead to non-uniform illumination and consequently positional ambiguities.

With the help of the TSI Micro Bubble Generator BG-1000, your airflow measurements are performed with very high accuracy and spatial resolution as well as low operation costs.
