Abstract:
:Image processing in fluid mechanics has become an important quantitative tool for flow analysis. The feasibility of simultaneous measurements of instantaneous velocity and temperature fields, as well as for tracking interfaces, creates a functional tool to describe thermally driven flows accompanied by phase change. The information thus gathered is essential for the verification and validation of computation models. The paper reviews the image processing methods developed by the author and his coworkers to analyze typical problems of two-phase flow. Simultaneous measurement of temperature and velocity fields, obtained by using liquid crystal tracers, are applied to elucidate solidification and growing vapor bubble problems.
