Tomographic PIV System

Description

The objective is to acquire a compact, multi-camera system for conducting high-resolution volumetric flow measurements using Tomographic PTV and Tomographic PIV techniques. The system will be deployed in a wind tunnel setup to investigate jet-in-crossflow (JICF) configurations relevant to effusion and transpiration cooling strategies. These measurements will provide critical insight into boundary layer behavior, jet penetration, mixing efficiency, turbulence intensity, and unsteady flow structures within the cooling film. The resulting data will support the fundamental understanding and optimization of gas turbine engine liner cooling systems. By improving the effectiveness of these cooling techniques, the research contributes to enhancing engine thermal efficiency and enabling the adoption of advanced combustion technologies. The system enables the acquisition of full three-dimensional velocity fields data that would otherwise only be accessible through numerical simulations.
