Student Training Program in Advanced Diagnostics for High-speed Fluid Mechanics.

Abstract

As described in previous reports, this AASERT funding has provided support for graduate student training in high speed optical flow diagnostics. Funds were provided for the purchase of a 20 MHz rate framing camera (Hadland Imacon 792), which was used to capture a pair of rapidly sequenced Rayleigh scattering images, using a double pulsed Nd:YAG laser system purchased from parent grant AFOSR support. During the current reporting period, work has progressed on a synergistic program to develop a 'burst mode' laser system, which will, ultimately, provide the capability to obtain approximately 30 rapidly sequenced images. This work is closely coupled with the parent grant (#F4962O0-92-J-0217) and a collaborative AFOSR program with Profs. Alexander Smits and Garry Brown (F49620-93-1-0064).
