Current Research
Development and application of laser-based diagnostics
Off-body measurements in ground test facilities and wind tunnels are often affected by the probes and sensors used to make the measurements. This project is utilizing non-intrusive laser-based measurement techniques to reduce or eliminate the effects of the measurement on the fluid being studied. These laser-based techniques are being developed and applied in order to measure fluid properties including (but not limited to) velocity, density, temperature, and concentration.
