Measurements of the tangential and axial velocities near the prism faces of a rotating mock crystal mounted on a rotating platform are presented. These measurements were made using molecular tagging velocimetry and are significant to the rapid growth of KDP crystals because they provide a description of the flow field and the evolution of the relative tangential and axial velocities near the prism faces and in the bulk flow region. These data represent the first measurements of fluid velocities around rotating crystal geometries, and thus provide a benchmark for future computer simulations of the crystal growth process at higher Re than previously obtainable. The measurements provide a temporal and spatial description of the evolving velocity field in the vicinity of a rotating crystal. Rotational conditions and locations on the prism faces where low shear rates are likely to occur, based on the measurements presented, are discussed qualitatively.
