Lagrangian Measurements in Turbulence
Eberhard Bodenschatz, (Cornell)
We are rpeorting on Lagrangian particle tracking in a high Reynolds number
turbulent flow. We are using silicon strip detectors developed for the CLEO3
detector at Cornell's e+e- collider. This detector allows us to follow particles
in the flow at submicron resolution at a rate of 70,000 positions per second. We
report results on particle accelerations and show that the acceleration is a very
intermittend quantity and that variance scales according with the predictions of
Kolomogrov. Particle size effects are alos disussed.
