Polarimetric vortex flow investigation

The paper presents initial studies of potential application of polarimetric sensing in flow control by the effect of vortex shedding (vosh). Discussion on geometrical factors of the flow tube for arising of a turbulence and oversimplified analysis of the response of the high birefringent (Hi-Bi) fiber on the flow are presented. Some features of the polarimetric sensing of the fluid flow are exemplified.
