The specific values of M and N are determined according to the size of the piezoelectric wafer of the transducer, the frequency of the ultrasonic transducer, the size of the space between the two blades and the like. When the ultrasonic array is arranged perpendicular to the incoming flow direction, the ultrasonic transducer emits ultrasonic waves in the range of the sound beam angle, and the ultrasonic waves continue to propagate after being reflected by the reflecting surface at the root of the blade grid, reach the receiving transducer and are received by the receiving transducer. And the size of the sound beam angle alpha is determined by the piezoelectric wafer size of the transducer and the frequency of the ultrasonic transducer:

As shown in FIG. 3, the industrial personal computer interface comprises a man-machine interaction interface, so that the transmitting and receiving waveform diagrams of ultrasonic signals can be intuitively displayed. The system operation process is as follows: firstly, the industrial personal computer is stimulated to generate ultrasonic signals; then, the amplitude of the signal can be manually adjusted to a reasonable size according to the waveform condition on the human-computer interaction interface; then, ultrasonic waves are transmitted into the space of the cascade channels to propagate through the inverse piezoelectric effect of the ultrasonic transducer, and signals are received by the receiving transducer through the piezoelectric effect. And finally, storing the signal data into the industrial personal computer through the acquisition card. The device system can realize that one transducer transmits signals and the other transducers receive signals, and can quickly and automatically switch the transducer to transmit next after the signal transmission and the signal reception are completed. The acquisition and preservation time for completing a complete set of (M+N) x (M+N-1) signals is relatively short, about 1s.

Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a 2 x 4 reflective ultrasound array in an embodiment of the invention.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the two-dimensional flow field measuring device 100 takes 2×4 ultrasonic transducers as an example, and 2×4 ultrasonic transducers 20 are vertically arranged right above two adjacent blade channels in the blade grid 10, and the matching layer of the ultrasonic transducers needs to be flush with the upper surfaces of the blades, so as to avoid the influence of the installation of the transducers on the flow field, and the specific installation mode is shown in fig. 5. Waveform data is then collected under the condition of the wind tunnel 30 blowing.

The formula of the speed difference method can be obtained by the two formulas:
compared with the traditional time difference method, the speed obtained by the speed difference method is independent of temperature, namely, the temperature condition inside the outflow field does not need to be measured. In the procedure of reconstructing the flow field, the planar cascade two-dimensional flow field is reconstructed based on the formula.
And S2-3, introducing (M+N) x (M+N-1) effective transit times into a flow field reconstruction program to obtain a two-dimensional speed field.

And constructing a plane grid in a measurement area between two blades, and decomposing a speed value calculated by using a formula into two directions of x and y. In the cascade channels, since an intersection point (called sound Cheng Jiaodian) is generated by different ultrasonic propagation paths, the manner of calculating the velocity at this point is slightly different. If the point is formed by intersecting two sound paths, the x-direction speed of the point is obtained by adding the x-direction speeds of the two sound paths and taking the average value, and the y-direction speed is obtained by adding the y-direction speeds of the two sound paths and taking the average value. If this point is made of more sound Cheng Xiangjiao, then this is the case.
