Title: Accurate Measurement of Particle Velocity using a Double Disc Anemometer in Erosive Wear Experiments - Data
This data repository is supporting the findings within the manuscript 'Accurate Measurement of Particle Velocity using a Double Disc Anemometer in Erosive Wear Experiments.' If any of the resources in this dataset are used in support of future published work, please credit the authors of the primary manuscript publication. This paper presents an improved DDA design, automated post-processing procedures, and result verification. We further investigate disc separation distance and shaft angular velocity, with the discussion highlighting the criterion for reliable measurements. We report an approach and a set of procedures that significantly enhance particle velocity measurement using a DDA accurately and economically. A new scarring analysis method was conducted to identify the intricacies of how the instrument’s geometries affect the velocity calculation. The DDA results were validated using state-of-the-art laser Doppler velocimetry equipment (LDV), with an agreement of -2.8% on average.

    Accurately characterizing abrasive particle velocity ejected from a nozzle in a pressurized airflow is crucial for solid particle erosion quantification, abrasive jet micromachining, and abrasive slurry micro-jet experiments. A double-disc anemometer (DDA) is an economical particle velocity measurement apparatus which is cost effective to implement. The DDA method determines particle velocity using the time it takes for particles to travel a known distance between two rotating discs mounted on the same shaft. Since 1975, the DDA has been used to measure solid particle velocities in gas-particulate flow streams. Particle velocity measurement using a DDA is an intricate process, which the experimental procedure lacks published standardization outlining, operation procedures, comprehensive error analysis, and post-processing advice, all required to report accurate and reliable results. This paper presents a new and improved DDA design, automated post-processing procedures, and experimental validation characterizing the flow development of 66 micron glass bead abrasive blasted with a maximum mean particle velocity of 95.3 m/s. State-of-the-art laser Doppler velocimetry equipment (LDV) was used to validate the DDA results with an agreement of −2.8 % on average. Further, this paper investigates the disc separation distance and shaft angular velocity, discussing configuration recommendations for reliable measurements, with an optimal reported uncertainty of ± 3.2 %. Finally, a novel scarring analysis method was conducted to identify the intricacies of how the instrument’s geometries affect the velocity calculation.

    Accurately characterizing particle velocity ejected from a nozzle in erosive wear experiments is crucial for quantifying erosive wear. Methods like particle imaging velocimetry, laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV) provide precise measurements, but they can be costly. An alternative approach to the above-mentioned methods, at a fraction of the cost, is a velocity measurement with a double disc anemometer (DDA). This paper presents a highly improved DDA design with automated postprocessing procedures and result verification. We report an approach and a set of guidelines that significantly enhance particle velocity measurement using a DDA accurately and economically. A new scarring analysis method was conducted to identify the intricacies of how the instrument’s geometries affect the velocity calculation. The DDA results were validated using state-of-the-art LDV equipment, with an agreement of ±2.8% on average.

    ABSTRACT Kinematic studies of disc galaxies, using individual stars in the Milky Way or statistical studies of global disc kinematics over time, provide insight into how discs form and evolve. We use a high-resolution, cosmological zoom-simulation of a Milky Way-mass disc galaxy (h277) to tie together local disc kinematics and the evolution of the disc over time. The present-day stellar age–velocity relationship (AVR) of h277 is nearly identical to that of the analogous solar-neighbourhood measurement in the Milky Way. A crucial element of this success is the simulation’s dynamically cold multiphase ISM, which allows young stars to form with a low velocity dispersion (σbirth$$\sim \!6 - 8 \ \mathrm{km\, s}^{-1}$$) at late times. Older stars are born kinematically hotter (i.e. the disc settles over time in an ‘upside-down’ formation scenario), and are subsequently heated after birth. The disc also grows ‘inside-out’, and many of the older stars in the present-day solar neighbourhood are present because of radial mixing. We demonstrate that the evolution of σbirth in h277 can be explained by the same model used to describe the general decrease in velocity dispersion observed in disc galaxies from z ∼ 2–3 to the present-day, in which the disc evolves in quasi-stable equilibrium and the ISM velocity dispersion decreases over time due to a decreasing gas fraction. Thus, our results tie together local observations of the Milky Way’s AVR with observed kinematics of high z disc galaxies.

    ABSTRACT We present an overview of, and first science results from, the Magellanic Edges Survey (MagES), an ongoing spectroscopic survey mapping the kinematics of red clump and red giant branch stars in the highly substructured periphery of the Magellanic Clouds. In conjunction with Gaia astrometry, MagES yields a sample of ~7000 stars with individual 3D velocities that probes larger galactocentric radii than most previous studies. We outline our target selection, observation strategy, data reduction, and analysis procedures, and present results for two fields in the northern outskirts (>10° on-sky from the centre) of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). One field, located in the vicinity of an arm-like overdensity, displays apparent signatures of perturbation away from an equilibrium disc model. This includes a large radial velocity dispersion in the LMC disc plane, and an asymmetric line-of-sight velocity distribution indicative of motions vertically out of the disc plane for some stars. The second field reveals 3D kinematics consistent with an equilibrium disc, and yields Vcirc = 87.7 ± 8.0 km s−1 at a radial distance of ~10.5 kpc from the LMC centre. This leads to an enclosed mass estimate for the LMC at this radius of (1.8 ± 0.3) × 1010 M⊙.

    {"Abstract":["Two years (September 15th, 2019-September 14th, 2021) of biogenic volatile organic compound concentration data from within the canopy of a forest in Fluvanna County, Virginia. An associated manuscript is published in atmospheric chemistry and physics titled - "Measurement Report: Variability in the composition of biogenic volatile organic compounds in a southeastern US forest and their role in atmospheric reactivity". The doi for this manuscript is: 10.5194/acp-2021-416.\n\nThe original version of this data set did not correct for when the data was sampled vs. when it was analyzed. The most recent version has been updated to reflect this and additional detail has been provided. Additionally, the calibration method for methacrolein and methyl vinyl ketone has been updated in this version of the data set. Given these changes, we ask that you use the most recent version.\n\nAdditional manuscripts associated with this data include: 'Minor contributions of daytime monoterpenes are major contributors to atmospheric reactivity' which discusses diurnal and seasonal variability found within the data and 'An autonomous remotely operated gas chromatograph for chemically resolved monitoring of atmospheric volatile organic compounds' which outlines the instrument developed for data collection and compound integration.\n\nThis will be the final update of this data set. Data collection is ongoing indefinitely, but future additions to the data set will be migrated to Dryad. Please email with any questions you may have regarding data collection or the data set."]}
