Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) is a non-intrusive optical method used to measure the velocity of particles within a fluid by analyzing the frequency shift of laser light scattered off these particles. This technique relies on the Doppler effect, where the wavelength of light changes based on the motion of the scattering particles, enabling precise velocity measurements without disturbing the flow.
congrats on reading the definition of laser doppler velocimetry. now let's actually learn it.
