Brief history of droplet impact The study of droplet impact can be traced back to the nineteenth century, with the pioneering work by Worthington[1]. His book, published in the 1890’s, portrays outstanding images of individual droplets[2] after impact with a solid surface. The volume contains images drawn by hand. A variable time delay triggered a … Read more
In this article, we’d like to discuss another interesting topic: computational fluid dynamics, also referred to as CFD and the different fields CFD is used in.
Fluid mechanics describes the flow of fluid whether at rest or in motion1. The surface of the earth is covered approximately by 75% water and its atmosphere consists of air, a mixture of gasses. There is a wealth of nature and man-made applications related to this subject. If you think about it, it is difficult … Read more
Take a closer look at why high frame rate cameras are so useful in academic research.
Have you ever wondered what happens when you ignite a matchstick, press the gas pedal or launch a rocket into space? These are examples of combustion and thrust, fascinating phenomena that occur in just a fraction of a second. Such fast events can be recorded and studied with high-speed cameras. In this blog post, we’ll … Read more
Have you ever wondered how athletes’ movements are analyzed and optimized to achieve record-breaking performance? High speed cameras for biomechanics are the game-changers that enable analysts to capture micro-movements and understand the complex mechanics of human motion. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at how high speed cameras are revolutionizing the field … Read more
