Holocamera for Examination of Water Droplets in a Large High Altitude Test Cell

Abstract

A series of experiments was performed in Engine Test Facility Propulsion Development Test Cell (J-1) to show that holography could be used to determine the water droplet information necessary to simulate the desired conditions in an operational environment. The experiments demonstrated the feasibility of applying holography to the visualization of small water droplet flow fields in a testing environment for droplet sizes down to approximately 15 microns.
