| Our
current research interest centers on the application of image processing
and analysis to a number of important chemical engineering problems. The
work is at the forefront of today's research in fluid mechanics and other
areas where information can be gained by visualization methods. We have
state-of-the-art video-based image processing systems. These are fully
automated for use in reducing both film or video taped material. The image
analysis codes are Windows-based and have been developed to simultaneously
track a thousand particles in stereo views. These tracks subsequently can
be used to evaluate time-resolved, full-field, velocity vector information
for the flow field under investigation.
• mixing in both fluid and solid-liquid systems The
research on mixing involves the interactions that exist between turbulence
mixing and complex chemical reactions. Of particular interest is the effect
of turbulent motion and mixing on the selectivity of complex reactions.
Such efforts are the basis for new studies on improved dynamic chemical
reactors for reduced emissions generation. The turbulence research on coherent
structures is directed toward establishing the basic mechanisms involved
in turbulent flow transport. Our goal is to establish the actual flow so
that realistic models of these complex processes can be made. The work
in biomedical and polymeric systems involves specific projects that attempt
to use the unique ability of visual studies to understand the basic mechanisms
involved in such processes. |
