Upgrading of Wind Tunnel Research Facility with Oxford Lasers VisiSizer

牛津激光可见仪汇集了两所大学的五个合作研究中心的专业知识，将用于研究杀虫剂喷雾的雾化和移动流场中的液滴行为。该设备与在农药风洞研究设施中建造新的工作部分相结合，将能够同时测量颗粒大小和液滴速度。VisiSizer将构建雾化过程的图像，并能够研究喷雾液滴和植物树冠之间的相互作用。数据将支持农药运输过程的建模，并加速澳大利亚在农药科学方面的领先专业知识。

Bringing together expertise within five collaborating research Centres in two Universities, an Oxford Lasers VisiSizer will be used to study the atomisation of pesticide sprays and droplet behaviour in moving flow fields. This equipment, in conjunction with the construction of a new working section in a pesticide wind tunnel research facility, will enable the simultaneous measurement of particle size and droplet velocity. The VisiSizer will construct images of the atomisation process and enable the interaction of spray droplets and plant canopies to be studied. Data will support modelling of pesticide transport processes and accelerate leading Australian expertise in pesticide science.
