This invention discloses a method for visually measuring the
wind speed of an
airflow field. The measurement method includes six steps: placing a constant-power
electric heating plate with a temperature higher than that of the
airflow in the path of the
airflow to be measured; using a thermal imager to photograph the airflow in front of the constant-power
electric heating plate to obtain a thermal image of the temperature distribution of the constant-power
electric heating plate during heat exchange; exporting the temperature values from the image; using a hot-wire anemometer to detect the air speed at a specific point; fitting a
correlation equation using the temperature and velocity values at the specific point; exporting the temperature and coordinate values of N or all pixels in the temperature distribution image of the electric heating plate, and substituting them into the
correlation equation to obtain the velocity values at each point in the airflow field. This allows for a direct
visualization of the velocity distribution and range of the measured airflow field. This invention can accurately acquire the velocity field of the airflow, and the method is applicable to the velocity
field detection of various complex airflows, and can accurately determine the
diffusion range of a gas jet.
