Abstract

A new instrument for measuring the velocities of particles suspended in a flowing fluid is described. The instrument is linear and is therefore capable of measuring the mean velocity in a fluctuating stream, even when these fluctuations are greater than this mean value. This particular instrument was developed for free convection work where the velocities to be measured were in the range + k 0.2 in./sec to − 0.2 in./sec, but there seems to be no reason why this range could not be considerably extended.
