Research Topics
We use laser imaging techniques such as PIV, LDA, and PDPA, combined with high speed filming to obtain detailed images of fluid-particle systems. For example high speed filming was used to capture a spray atomization to capture the averaged droplet diameters. We have also introduced a new visualisation technique to look at wake flows from moving objects. These results are used as basis for further detailed analysis using CFD techniques
