<p>The objective of this thesis is to apply high frequency flow
measurement technique known as hot wire anemometry to <a>characterize
the velocity, turbulence intensity and turbulent length scales in the </a><a></a><a>Purdue Experimental Turbine Aerothermal Lab Rig</a>.
Hot wire anemometry has been widely used to characterize velocities and
turbulence levels in different environments and using different calibration and
post-processing methodologies. In this
work, a precise calibration and post-processing method was developed and
successfully applied to the state-of-the-art trisonic Purdue Experimental
Turbine Aerothermal Lab wind tunnel. The different experimental setups where
the turbulence levels were analyzed were fabricated using modern manufacturing
techniques such as 3D printing or water cutting. These techniques increase the
complexity of the designs to be tested in wind tunnels. Calibration process was then successfully
tested in the Purdue Experimental Turbine Aerothermal Lab Rig. Finally, accuracy
and sensitivity analysis of the calibration are performed to verify the
performance and reliability of the process.</p></div>
