Abstract

The paper discusses the development and application activities within the Aero-Physics and Measurement Technology Laboratory at the University of Manchester on pressure sensitive paint and thermographic phosphor optical imaging systems for gas dynamic applications. It provides a brief review of the basic principles, fundamental theory, properties, chemical characteristics and bonding technologies associated with the two systems. A number of case studies are presented, which exhibit the range of applicability, limitations and potential for further development of the technologies.
