The design of a new solid particle seeding generator for laser-based velocity measurements in gaseous flows is reported. Performance tests revealed that the new seeder has the ability to control the concentration of seeding particles in a flow independently of the flowrate. It also can provide a steady supply of seeding particles, operate over an extended range of flowrate, and break up agglomerates into smaller particles. These features give this seeder advantages over its counterparts, especially at low volumetric flowrate.
