Aeromechanics of the local zone of influence of a gas infrared emitter

Velocity fields and air flow structures have been experimentally established in a local working area with a horizontal panel heated by a gas infrared emitter in the modes of free and mixed (during operation of the air exchange system) convection using the optical SIV (Smoke Image Velocimetry) method. The analysis of the influence of the structure of the air flow, resulting from the heating of surfaces located in the local working area, on the formation of air velocity fields in the operating conditions of a gas infrared emitter was carried out. The extent of the influence of the convection regime on the aeromechanics of the local working area heated by a gas infrared emitter has been established.
