Analysis of the dedicated laser velocimeter systems at NASA - Langley Research CenterThree representative laser velocimeter systems used at NASA - Langley Research Center are described and analyzed. They range from a small orthogonal three component system used for detailed aerodynamic investigations to a large two component system used for investigations of complicated helicopter rotor flow fields. The components used in each system are described and analyzed for their contributions to the measurement uncertainty. Example flow field measurements are presented to illustrate the capabilities of these systems.
