Details of the numerical solution techniques, including explicit, point-implicit, and fully implicit schemes, used in a new quasi two-dimensional procedure for the transient solution of real fluids in system lines and volumes are presented. The procedure is coupled with a real-fluid properties database so that both compressible and incompressible fluids may be considered using the same code. The procedure has been implemented in Matlab/Simulink(R) as well as Fortran95 to allow ...
This report is an overview of the current state of temperature- and pressure-sensitive luminescent paint techniques. Topics include photophysical foundations, paint preparation and calibration, measurement systems, accuracy, and time response. Applications of the luminescent paint technique in aerodynamic testing are discussed and results of measurements of a transonic rotor are presented.
