Vortex velocimetry of air flows using Helium Filled Soap Bubbles (HFSB)

This thesis work illustrates the first of its kind solution to this problem of lack of seeding at vortex core in air flows, by the use of Helium Filled Soap Bubble (HFSB) which is a neutrally buoyant tracer particle in air flows. To analyse the lack of seeding in the vortex core, a 2D numerical simulation of particle motion in vortex flow is...

Stereoscopic PIV on a delta wing in supersonic flow

Ever since the 1950s delta wings are being used as an efficient planform for supersonic flight. Over time extensive research on the aerodynamics of this type of wings has been performed using many different measurement techniques. Due to technical difficulties, measurements on delta wings in a supersonic flow are still scarce and often limited...
