This request is for a two-dimensional particle image velocimetry system. The budget covers the acquisition of a high-speed camera, dual cavity high powered laser, and requisite hardware/software components for system operation. This equipment supports four fundamental research programs in fluid structure interactions, unsteady aerodynamics, hydrogen production, and thermal energy storage and conversion. The system will maintain our research capacity and contributions to novel technologies at an internationally competitive level. It will become one of the primary measurement tools in the applicant's and co-applicants' research programs, aiding in the training of approximately ten HQP on an annual basis. HQP trained with this equipment will be funded through both fundamental research grants as well as collaborations with industrial partners. HQP gain hands on skills in experimental facilities operation (e.g., wind tunnels, water flow loops, scaled reactor vessels and furnaces), experimental techniques including pressure sensing, strain/force sensing, image processing and signal analysis, data reduction, and data analysis including experimental deployment of artificial neural networks. The program thus trains HQP with high technical expertise and skills suited for next generation technologies, for example, clean hydrogen, intelligent heat exchangers and thermal energy storage solutions, flow control and drag reduction systems for aerospace applications, and green steelmaking with improved basic oxygen furnaces. The research has great potential to provide solutions in these areas, supporting the Government of Canada commitments in reducing the impacts of climate change.

本课题要求研制一种二维粒子图像测速系统。预算包括购置高速摄像机、双腔高功率激光器和系统运行所需的硬件/软件组件。该设备支持流体结构相互作用，非定常空气动力学，制氢和热能储存和转换的四个基础研究计划。该系统将使我们的研究能力和对新技术的贡献保持在具有国际竞争力的水平。它将成为申请人和共同申请人的研究计划中的主要测量工具之一，每年帮助培训大约10名HQP。使用该设备培训的HQP将通过基础研究赠款以及与工业合作伙伴的合作获得资助。HQP获得实验设施操作的技能（例如，风洞、水流回路、缩放的反应堆容器和熔炉）、实验技术（包括压力感测、应变/力感测、图像处理和信号分析）、数据简化和数据分析（包括人工神经网络的实验部署）。因此，该计划培训HQP具有高技术专业知识和技能，适用于下一代技术，例如清洁氢气，智能换热器和热能存储解决方案，用于航空航天应用的流量控制和减阻系统，以及使用改进的碱性氧气炉的绿色炼钢。这项研究有很大的潜力在这些领域提供解决方案，支持加拿大政府减少气候变化影响的承诺。
