Application of Fast Optical Tomography to Flow Tubes
Abstract
In this report, the requirements are considered for a two dimensional flow visualization diagnostic capable of non intrusively measuring temperature and species concentration in a turbulent, atmospheric pressure flow tube. The need for and the history of flow visualization techniques are briefly reviewed. A new approach is then suggested, based on optical tomography, that would have several advantages over methods currently under development. An up-to-date reference list for optical tomography is included. The feasibility studies completed to date are presented in the bulk of the report.
