A compact and portable nd: yag dual cavity pulsed laser system for alternative energy and fluid dynamics research

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Funds are requested for the purchase of a Nd:YAG dual cavity pulsed laser system for non-intrusive fluid flow measurements and visualization. The requested laser system is a necessary major component to complete a new particle image velocimetry (PIV) diagnostics facility developing in the combustion and energy systems laboratory at Concordia University. The new PIV system established in the laboratory will represent an important infrastructure to measure the instantaneous global velocity field in a flowing fluid, and such diagnostics facility is essential to the proposed research in the short- and long-term.
