Molecular Image Sensing for Pressure and Temperature Surface Mapping of Aerodynamic Flows

Application of novel pressure-sensitive paint formulations for the surface flow mapping of high-speed jets

“…(4) allowing for local differences in variables such as paint thickness and luminophore concentration to be accounted for. A more general expression is as follows [12],…”

“…The plate was allowed to dry and afterwards, the PSP is spray painted using an air-brush and the plate is cured at 343K for approximately 7 hours [12]. Once the plate was ready it was fastened on to the nozzle with screws and the side with the perspex was covered with a black piece of cardboard to cut out any light shining on the PSP surface with the exception of just before and during image acquisition.…”
