A high-performance ultra-high-speed camera for complex flows

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The requested funding enables us to acquire a high-performance ultra-high-speed camera system to support our impactful, productive and innovative research on complex flows. This camera significantly accelerates our research program on complex flows that appear in (i) nanofiber production by centrifugal spinning, (ii) plug & abandonment of Canada's oil&gas wells, (iii) aluminum production processes and (iv) marine floating platform applications. The complex flow phenomena to be studied have such a degree of complexity that using advanced experimental techniques, such as ultra-high-speed imaging, becomes absolutely necessary. Via conducting innovative experiments, the camera allows us to validate/improve our advanced models and simulations developed in the aforementioned areas, which address considerable socioeconomic and environmental issues in Canada. Our research program, enabled by the camera, together with our exceptional educational environment will train a large number of highly qualified personnel, preparing them for their future research and industrial careers.
