摘要
Laser-Doppler anemometry is relatively new technique which is used for measuring velocity fields. It has major applications in the field of in vitro biofluid mechanics. The laser-Doppler anemometers have many advantages compared with the traditional hot-wire or hot-film anemometers which are still mainly used in studies of biofluid mechanics. A laser-Doppler anemometer (I.d.a) system which can be used to measure in vitro velocity and shear-stress profiles in the vicinity of prosthetic heart valves is described. Accurate velocity measurements in the vicinity of prosthetic heart valves are very scarce, and the use of I.d.a systems will facilitate acquisition of these data. © 1979 IFMBE.
