Doppler Global Velocimetry (DGV)

Doppler Global Velocimetry TestDGV is a non-intrusive measurement technology that can provide global, multi- or single- point velocity measurements. The technology can provide three-component velocity measurements at video rates (global), or greater than 100 kHz sample rates (point).

The technology does not require resolution of individual particles, nor is it a single particle per measurement method. Average of optical frequency, not Doppler frequency. Doppler Global Velocimetry Test

Instantaneous global measurements can be obtained using a Nd:YAG laser. Continuous point measurements can be obtained with Argon ion or CW nd:YAG lasers (Iodine) or laser diodes (Cesium).
