In this project, a new and improved volumetric flow visualization system using continuous wave laser and scanning mirrors has been designed. This system is economical, has a uniform light intensity with the capability of producing multi-layer laser sheets to create a 3D image of the flow that is spread over a large volume. Compared to the existing devices used in the aviation and space technology industries, such as the Particle Image Velocimeter and the NFAC Long– Range Laser Velocimeter (LRLV), the light intensity of each sheet produced by the Volumetric Flow Visualization System is uniformly distributed and the strength of the intensity remains unchanged. This project was partially sponsored by Maxon Precision Motors, Inc, a leading company in building micro-motors used in humanoid robots, commercial aircrafts, camera lenses, race cars, cardiac pumps and other high precision industrial applications.
