| Summary: | Turbulence occurs in everyday phenomena, yet there has not been a deterministic
theory of turbulent flow. Hotwire Anemometer is a tool to measure
wind velocity, in which it can sense the chaos, randomness, or fluctuation
of fluid properties at certain location through certain time. Using
Hotwire Anemometer, a study of turbulence can be conducted. In this research,
MUCTA (Melbourne University Constant Temperature Anemometer)
was utilized for the activity of characterizing turbulence statistics of ITB closed
loop wind tunnel. The characterization was done for variety of freestream velocity
on an empty test section (freestream case) and on a test section involving
flat plate (boundary layer case). Despite the limitations of tools, the results of
the characterization are in good terms and can be used for benchmark in the
future studies. Furthermore, a supporting program for MUCTA operation in
the Flow Diagnostics Lab of ITB was developed and a flowchart elucidating
the procedural to operate MUCTA is presented. |
