Innovative features of the anemometer include: (1) a rapid and efficient data acquisition process, (2) a detailed real-time graphic display of the data being accumulated, and (3) input laser beam positioning that maximizes the size of the intra-rotor region being mapped. Results demonstrate the anemometer's capability in flow mapping within a transonic axial-flow compressor rotor. The use of fluorescent seed particles allows flow measurements near the rotor hub and the casing window.
