Optical Diagnostics of Thermal-Fluid Science Lab
Research Field
Dr. Huang received his Ph.D from School of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue University in 2006. His research interests include microfluidics, pressure and temperature sensitive paint technique, molecular sensor applications on macro-meso-micro scale mechanics, optical diagnostic techniques in aerospace engineering, MEMS, and green energy.
In our group, we provide a comprehensive view of the theory and application of experimental techniques for thermo-fluid measurements including pressure, temperature, and velocity measurements with advanced experimental techniques like particle image velocimetry (PIV) and pressure/temperature sensitive-paint (PSP/TSP).
- Temperature measurement and heat transfer analysis with luminescence sensors.
