High speed cameras for shared uses in research of Bio-inspired, Environmental and Aerodynamic flows

Abstract

We propose purchasing four high speed cameras (Photron R3) to be shared between four highly-active researchers at Brown University all engaged in state-of-the-art fluid mechanics experiments - in particular particle image velocimetry (PIV) and high speed imaging. Two of the co-investigators - Breuer and Harris are already funded with a variety of DOD grants from ONR and AFOSR that have active experiments in need of these imaging systems. These grants concern unsteady fluid mechanics associated with bio-inspired engineering and design for naval applications and aeroelastic instabilities associated with swept wing aerodynamics.
