The development and capabilities of fast-responding pressure-sensitive paint (fast PSP) are reviewed within the context recent applications to aerodynamic acoustic investigations. PSP is an optical technique for determining surface pressure distributions by measuring changes in intensity emitted light, whereas fast extension applicable unsteady flows acoustics. Most formulations based on porous binders that allow rapid oxygen diffusion interaction with chemical sensor. This article reviews...
Abstract The development of new materials and their compositional microstructural optimization are essential in regard to next-generation technologies such as clean energy environmental sustainability. However, discovery have been a frustratingly slow process. Edisonian trial-and-error process is time consuming resource inefficient, particularly when contrasted with vast design spaces 1 . Whereas traditional combinatorial deposition methods can generate material libraries 2,3 , these suffer...
Ice adhesion tests are widely used to assess the performance of potential icephobic surfaces and coatings. A great variety test designs have been developed over past decades due lack formal standards for these types tests. In many cases, aim research was not only determine ice values, but also understand key surface properties correlated low surfaces. Data from different measurement techniques had correspondence between results: Values varied by orders magnitude showed relative relationships...
