The following example graphs have been produced from data file 35334-s02.dat
|
The measurement enclosure on top of the airshaft was divided into 8 compartments (see photographs of the airshaft). The layout of the graphs represents the distribution of 6 ultrasonic anemometers in the airshaft as viewed from above. Each ultrasonic sensor measured flow data in 3 directions. Each direction is shown in a different set of graphs below. The speed of sound was estimated by the ultrasonic sensors and is included in a further set of graphs. |

u direction: vertical airflow component (+ve = up the shaft)
v direction: lateral airflow component (+ve = right to left in the top boxes, left to tight in the bottom boxes)
w direction: longitudinal airflow component (+ve = inwards from shaft wall)
c: speed of sound (approx)
u direction: Comparison between two sets of three ultrasonic sensors.
