Product catalog summary
Introduction
Flow field diagnostics using Constant Temperature Anemometry (CTA) is crucial for turbulence investigations, impacting fields from aerodynamics to passenger comfort. CTA provides high spatial and temporal resolution, making it ideal for measuring temperature, shear stress, velocity, and turbulence in various applications.

CTA Measurement Principle
CTA operates on the principle of cooling small sensors in the flow, maintaining constant sensor temperature through a feedback control loop. This produces a voltage proportional to flow velocity, allowing accurate measurements in both amplitude and frequency domains.

Product Offerings
Dantec Dynamics offers a range of anemometers, including research-grade, educational, and mobile systems. They provide automatic and manual calibration systems for air and water, along with probes and data acquisition systems. Their software package simplifies experiments with features like hardware control and automated calibration.

Calibration
Accurate CTA measurements require precise calibration. Dantec Dynamics offers air and water calibrators, compatible with Pitch/Yaw – Roll manipulators for directional calibrations. These calibrators support speeds up to Mach 1 for air and 2 m/s for water.

Probes
Dantec Dynamics manufactures hotwire and hotfilm probes with precision, ensuring low residual error during directional calibration. They offer standard and custom probes for various media and applications.

Software
StreamWare Basic and Pro software platforms assist in designing, organizing, and documenting CTA measurements. They support hardware setup, probe calibration, data acquisition, and post-processing. The software provides power spectrum calculations, reducing uncertainty in Fourier analysis.

About Dantec Dynamics
Dantec Dynamics, a leader in laser optical measurement systems, has been providing solutions since 1947. With offices worldwide, they offer tailored solutions to improve efficiency, safety, and quality of life.

Turbulence diagnostics is an important step in research and development because it has great impact in numerous applications from aerodynamics to passenger comfort. Hotwire anemometers provide the best spatial and temporal resolution for turbulence investigations. Constant Temperature Anemometry (CTA) CTA is a well-established point measurement technique with commercial systems available for several decades. Application areas include temperature, shear stress, velocity and turbulence measurements in e.g. jets, boundary layers, transitional flows. Even though the CTA technique is intrusive and...

Constant Temperature Anemometry Solutions-4

The CTA measurement principle is based on heat transfer from a heated sensor. The CTA measurement principle is based on the cooling of small sensors placed in the flow: The temperature (resistance) of the sensor is kept constant by an advanced feedback control loop that contains an electronic bridge circuit. This way, the anemometer produces a continuous voltage that is proportional to the instantaneous flow velocity. The output signal is sampled with high resolution so the flow velocity is determined accurately both in the amplitude domain and in the frequency domain. StreamLine Pro - the most...

Triaxial Parallel-flow probe with gold-plated wire sensors. Triaxial cross-flow probe with fiber-film sensors. Dantec Dynamics has a comprehensive probe program. The hotwire and hotfilm probes are a result of more than half-a-century design and manufacturing experience. The product range is complete with accessories: probe supports, mounting tubes and guide tubes. Dantec’s probe manufacturing precision manifests itself during directional calibration events. For multi-sensor probes, the sensors should be placed perpendicular to each other in space to achieve a balanced directional sensitivity....
