1 Introduction
In many physical experiments it isnecessary to measure ow velocities in the experiment without disturbing the natural ow patterns. A very useful method to accomplish this task is the laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV). LDV is used in thestudy of various ows like atmospheric turbulences and ows in internal combustion engines. Its noninvasive nature makes it especially interesting for medical and biophysical applications where it isof great interest to measure the ow of blood in localized areas. The motivation of this project was to set up a laser Doppler velocimeter and study the characteristics of dierent ow patterns toevaluate the potential of this method.

fd = f2 − f1 =

2 Laser Doppler Velocimetry
2.1 TheoryThe experiment uses the Doppler eect to calculate the velocity of particles in uids. Light scattered on moving particles experiences a shift in frequencies according to
fr = fb 1− 1−
e b · vp cepr · vp c
≈ fb +
vp · (epr − eb ) (1) λb
where fb and fr are the frequencies of the beam and the light at the receiver. vp is the velocity of the particle and eb is the unit vector in beam...
