Abstract

Abstract: A SPIV experiment using two orthogonal planes simultaneously was performed in the LML boundary layer facility to specifically measure all of the derivative moments needed to estimate the dissipation rate of the turbulence kinetic energy. The Reynolds number was Reθ= 7500 or Reτ= 2300. A detailed analysis of the errors in derivative measurements was carried out, as well as applying and using consistency checks derived from the continuity equation. The random noise error was quantified and used to “denoise” the derivative moments. A comparison with a DNS channel flow at comparable Reynolds number demonstrated the capability of the technique. The results were further validated using the recent theory developed by George and Stanislas (Exp Fluids 62:188, 2021). An important result of the present work is the provision of reliable rules for an accurate assessment of the dissipation in future PIV experiments.
