Book Description
Luminescent molecular probes imbedded in a polymer binder form a temperature or pressure paint. On excitation by light of the proper wavelength, the luminescence, which is quenched either thermally or by oxygen, is detected by a camera or photodetector. From the detected luminescent intensity, temperature and pressure can be determined. The basic photophysics, calibration, accuracy and time response of luminescent paints is described followed by applications in wind tunnels and in rotating machinery.

Book Description
This new edition describes pressure and temperature sensitive paints (PSP and TSP) in global surface pressure and temperature measurements in aerodynamics and fluid mechanics. The book includes the latest progress in paint formulations, instrumentation, and steady and unsteady aerodynamic measurements in various facilities including low-speed, transonic, supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnels. The updated technical aspects of PSP and TSP in the book will be useful for students and researchers in experimental aerodynamics and fluid mechanics.

Book Description
Toward the development of a measurement system for transonic compressor rotors, the static pressure field over a high-speed test rotor was recorded using pressure sensitive paint (PSP) and an electronically-gated, intensified CCD video camera and frame-grabber. Semi-conductor digital logic circuits were developed to form a phase-locked image capture system which acquired ultra-high-speed, low-light-level gated images once per revolution (1/Rev). A monostable pulse circuit was developed to sum more than 200 gated images over a one-second integration period to build a single image. Rotor speed was measured on an oscilloscope using the 1/Rev trigger-pulse. Also, a pressure vessel was constructed and used to calibrate the PSP over varying pressure and temperature ranges to yield qualitative image intensity versus pressure data. Finally, the static pressure field data over the rotor surface was measured and presented as a 256 grey-scale and color image.

Book Description
Measurement of the static-pressure distribution over the surface of a rotor disk was attempted using pressure sensitive paint (PSP). A uniform stress, high speed rotor disk, fitted with a shock generator, was built, installed and operated at speeds in excess of 20,000 RPM by a Hamilton Standard turbine driven fuel pump. A once per revolution trigger signal was converted to a transistor to transistor logic (TTL) format and used to gate an intensified charged coupled device (CCD) video camera. Multiple low intensity level camera exposures were integrated and captured to produce a single usable image. Ten captured images were averaged to increase the image's signal to noise ratio and the result was used to produce an image ratio with respect to a static reference condition. Finally, a pseudo coloring process was used to develop a color image that related intensities to both temperature and pressure distributions in accordance with the Stern-Volmer relation. Paint stripping and temperature dependence prevented the measurement of pressure at transonic speeds. The test bed facility and acquisition techniques developed here could now be used to overcome those limitations.

Book Description
In order to obtain quantitative surface pressure measurements of a transonic compressor rotor using pressure sensitive paint (PSP), the temperature dependence of the paint must be taken into consideration. In the present study, a calibration chamber was built and instrumented such that pressure and temperature could be controlled independently. Photodiodes were used to measure the intensity of light emitted by the PSP. An acquisition program was developed to record the necessary calibration data to obtain an analytical representation of the luminescent response of the pressure-sensitive paint over a range of pressures and temperatures characteristic of transonic fans.

Book Description
In the development of a surface pressure measurement system for transonic compressor rotors, it has been shown that Pressure Sensitive Paint (PSP) is also temperature dependent. In the present study, the sensitivities to pressure and temperature were examined experimentally using an electronically- gated, intensified Charged- Coupled-Device (CCD) video camera, frame-grabber software and an eight-inch diameter calibration chamber. Using a signal generator, in a procedure that matched the requirements of the rotor application, multiple low-intensity-level camera exposures were integrated and captured to produce a single usable image. Ten captured images were averaged to increase the image's signal-to-noise ratio and the result was used to produce an image ratio with respect to a static (ambient pressure/temperature) reference condition. Calibration tests of constant temperature/variable pressure and constant pressure/variable temperature were completed. The results were then compared with data obtained using the same paint and an automated, single- exposure calibration procedure at NASA Ames Research Center. It was shown that the calibration data could be used to derive the static pressure field produced over a high-speed test rotor using PSP and the same image-capture system used in the calibration. In preparation for a bench test of the procedure, a uniform- stress, high-speed test rotor disk, fitted with a shock generator was driven at speeds in excess of 30,000 RPM. Recommendations are made toward the goal of obtaining quantitative pressure measurements on transonic compressor rotors.

Book Description
This book gathers contributions to the 21st biannual symposium of the German Aerospace Aerodynamics Association (STAB) and the German Society for Aeronautics and Astronautics (DGLR). The individual chapters reflect ongoing research conducted by the STAB members in the field of numerical and experimental fluid mechanics and aerodynamics, mainly for (but not limited to) aerospace applications, and cover both nationally and EC-funded projects. Special emphasis is given to collaborative research projects conducted by German scientists and engineers from universities, research-establishments and industries. By addressing a number of cutting-edge applications, together with the relevant physical and mathematics fundamentals, the book provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the current research work in the field. The book’s primary emphasis is on aerodynamic research in aeronautics and astronautics, and in ground transportation and energy as well.
