Three-Dimensional Particle Image Velocimetry System

Abstract

The PIV instrumentation was requested to support two AFOSR-funded research projects. The first project is entitled "Hybrid Control of Turbulent Jets" (Grant No. F49620-00-1-0255). The hybrid approach combines both passive and active control techniques to enhance the mixing characteristics of a turbulent jet flow. The second project is entitled "A Study of the Formation and Scaling of a Synthetic Jet" (Grant No. F49620-01-1-0301). This project is examining the internal and external flow-fields in a synthetic jet actuator and aims at developing scaling laws and design rules for these actuators.
