Sponsor: Applied Engineering Research

OBJECTIVES OF THE CLINIC PROJECT

Development of Schlieren Flow Viz System

Applying the results of a past project on the chemical reaction and separation process; we will package the entire system into an automated, usable prototype.

Objectives:

•Literature review on schleiren techniques.

•Build a flow visualization apparatus to view flows with a different refractive index than the surrounding air.

Examples: Shock Waves in Upper and Lower Fuselage
