This proposal describes how imaging techniques may be applied effectively to flows inside static mixers. We will describe the proposed experimental setup, the design and orientation of the diagnostic tools specific to the regions of interest in the static mixer, and the parameters that will be measured such as velocity fields, and mixing effectiveness.
Imaging techniques represent the forefront of fluid mechanics measurements.
We have gained extensive experience and expertise in the areas of Newtonian and non-Newtonian flows, flows incorporating complicated geometry, and laminar and turbulent flows.
