Part 2: Velocity Measurements<br />
◦ Re-Calibrate the velocity of the water tunnel as a function<br />
of impeller motor rpm for use in subsequent<br />
hydrodynamic experiments using Laser Doppler velocity<br />
measurements<br />
◦ Make measurements of the drag coefficient of a circular<br />
cylinder at three (0.8, 1.4 & 1.8 m/s) different flow<br />
velocities. Both velocity calibration and drag<br />
measurements are based on velocity measurements<br />
from a laser-Doppler Velocimeter.
