Optical Diagnostics System for Thermo-Fluids and Hydrogen research facilities

这一要求是针对二维粒子图像测速系统提出的。预算用于购置高速摄像机、双腔高功率激光器和系统运行所需的硬件/软件组件。该设备支持在流体结构相互作用、非定常空气动力学、氢气生产和热能存储和转换方面的四个基础研究项目。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。它将成为申请者和共同申请者研究计划的主要衡量工具之一，每年帮助培训大约10名HQP。使用这种设备培训的总部基地将通过基础研究拨款以及与工业合作伙伴的合作提供资金。HQP在实验设施操作(如风洞、水流回路、缩尺反应堆容器和熔炉)、实验技术(包括压力传感、应变/力传感、图像处理和信号分析、数据处理和数据分析)以及数据分析(包括人工神经网络的试验性部署)方面掌握实际技能。因此，该计划培训HQP具有适合下一代技术的高技术专长和技能，例如清洁氢气、智能热交换器和热能存储解决方案、航空航天应用的流动控制和减阻系统，以及使用改进的碱性氧炉的绿色炼钢。这项研究具有在这些领域提供解决方案的巨大潜力，支持加拿大政府在减少气候变化影响方面的承诺。

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.
