Abstract: Two methods for determining the flow velocity in a vortex chamber of planar-radial geometry under transient and steady-state conditions are proposed. Local flow velocities throughout the entire volume of the chamber are measured, and the flow is found to be rotational. The effect of accumulation of particles heavier than air in the butt-end boundary layer is revealed.
