Abstract

In this article, we describe an optical set-up designed to measure directly velocity gradients (strophometry). This strophometer is based on the analysis of the distortions of a fringe pattern ‘written’ instantaneously in a flow field. We apply it to study the transverse velocity-gradient component ∂u/∂y in a plane Poiseuille flow at moderate Reynolds numbers. Mean values and different moments of the fluctuating gradient distribution related to viscous dissipation, vorticity dynamics and intermittency are obtained. These results are interpreted in terms of the large-scale structures which are present in the flow.
