Rocket Spray Research for Photon Tools Workshop

Abstract

Fuel sprays for aerospace propulsion systems tend to have high optical densities which causes difficulties in making quantitative measurements using conventional diagnostics. Using advance photon tools such as X-ray radiography can overcome some of these issues. These slides summarize some of the issuers related to rocket sprays and provides an overview of the X-ray methods that have been applied to date.
