This paper presents the experimental analysis of air flow vortex propagation through porous screens. This study is conducted by a new and unique experimental setup for ve- locity measurements and visualization of air vortex interac- tion with porous screen. A custom-made, high-precision vortex generator provides a variety of velocity profiles for vortex generation with an unprecedented level of precision. The flow fields are captured with the use of a fog gener- ator and a high-speed CCD camera. The porous screens are constructed out of acrylic rods with various orientations, thickness, and porosities from rod separation. The results presented in this …
