Instrumentation for Performance, Blade Loads and Flowfield Measurement of Novel Hover-Capable Meso-Scale Aerial Platforms
Abstract
The Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) is designed to improve the capabilities of U.S. Universities to conduct research and to educate scientists and engineers in selected technical areas of importance to national defense. DURIP funding provides for the acquisition of research equipment and instrumentation for this purpose. This proposal is for the purchase of Digital Particle Image Velocimetry system equipment, including Nd:YAG dual cavity pulsed laser, high resolution CMOS camera and associated optical and electronic equipment. Additionally, a data acquisition system will be purchased, along with force sensors. The P.I., Professor Moble Benedict of the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station will use the equipment to augment and enhance research capabilities in the area of fluid dynamics of meso-scale aerial vehicles.
