Typical applications

  • primary information on flow features in fluid dynamics prior to application of optical measuring methods
  • suitable also as the main experimental method for studying fluid flow fields
  • air flow visualization in research related to room heating, ventilation and air-conditioning
  • observation of air/gas discharge from air terminal devices and pipes, nozzle discharge, two-phase flow
  • assessment of indoor environment of vehicles
  • studies of flow around bodies, mixing of gas jets
  • crash tests, fast motion tracking of objects, testing of firearms/ammunition/explosives
  • research into biomechanics and biological processes
  • evaluation of trajectories of machine mechanisms, robotic production lines, high-speed machining etc.
  • research into combustion processes
