An erosion technique for the measurement of the shear stress field on a flat plate

Abstract: A simple technique for the measurement of the shear stress field on a flat surface is presented. The technique is based on a correlation established between the erosion patterns of fine grains spread on a horizontal smooth plate and the known shear stress values obtained by conventional, well established, means for the flow produced by a round jet perpendicular to a flat plate. The critical shear stress values are found to be practically independent of the overall flow configuration and properties, and depend … Show more

“…The positive slopes observed in this study were attributed to change in density of distribution (relative thickness) of sand particles as r c increases. As reported by Viegas and Borges () there is dependence of τ c values on density of distribution of sand particle layer with increasing r c , but the effect is small and should not alter values of τ c significantly. This is supported in this study by the slopes of Figure .…”

“…The first wind-tunnel experiments were conducted using the sand-erosion technique [15], in which a thin layer of sieved and calibrated sand is exposed to gradually higher wind speeds. The contours were recorded continuously using a digital video camera, for posterior image processing.…”

“…It is based on the erosion of sand placed on a model. Different authors developed methodologies to use the technique for wind comfort assessment: Viegas and Borges (1986), Williams (1986), Livesey et al (1992), Blocken and Carmeliet (2004);. In practice, the model is placed in a wind tunnel and covered with a thin layer of 1 mm-1.5 mm of sieved sand.…”
