This request is for a two-dimensional particle image velocimetry system. The budget covers the acquisition of a high-speed camera, dual cavity high powered laser, and requisite hardware/software components for system operation. This equipment supports four fundamental research programs in fluid structure interactions, unsteady aerodynamics, hydrogen production, and thermal energy storage and conversion. The system will maintain our research capacity and contributions to novel technologies at an internationally competitive level. It will become one of the primary measurement tools in the applicant's and co-applicants' research programs, aiding in the training of approximately ten HQP on an annual basis. HQP trained with this equipment will be funded through both fundamental research grants as well as collaborations with industrial partners. HQP gain hands on skills in experimental facilities operation (e.g., wind tunnels, water flow loops, scaled reactor vessels and furnaces), experimental techniques including pressure sensing, strain/force sensing, image processing and signal analysis, data reduction, and data analysis including experimental deployment of artificial neural networks. The program thus trains HQP with high technical expertise and skills suited for next generation technologies, for example, clean hydrogen, intelligent heat exchangers and thermal energy storage solutions, flow control and drag reduction systems for aerospace applications, and green steelmaking with improved basic oxygen furnaces. The research has great potential to provide solutions in these areas, supporting the Government of Canada commitments in reducing the impacts of climate change.

该请求针对二维粒子图像测速系统。预算包括购买高速相机、双腔高功率激光器以及系统操作所需的硬件/软件组件。该设备支持流体结构相互作用、非定常空气动力学、氢气生产以及热能储存和转换方面的四个基础研究项目。该系统将使我们的研究能力和对新技术的贡献保持在国际竞争水平上。它将成为申请人和共同申请人研究项目的主要测量工具之一，每年帮助培训大约十名 HQP。使用该设备进行培训的 HQP 将通过基础研究拨款以及与工业合作伙伴的合作获得资金。 HQP 获得实验设施操作（例如风洞、水流回路、缩放反应堆容器和熔炉）、实验技术（包括压力传感、应变/力传感、图像处理和信号分析、数据简化和数据分析）方面的技能，包括人工神经网络的实验部署。因此，该项目为总部工程师提供适合下一代技术的高技术专业知识和技能，例如清洁氢、智能热交换器和热能存储解决方案、航空航天应用的流量控制和减阻系统，以及使用改进的氧气转炉的绿色炼钢。该研究具有在这些领域提供解决方案的巨大潜力，支持加拿大政府减少气候变化影响的承诺。
