What is it about?

Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is used to determine drag, lift and a correction for angle of attack for an airfoil in an open-jet wind tunnel.

Perspectives

Currently a PhD student at TU Delft, faculty of Aerospace Engineering, working in a project which aims to validate and demonstrate the use of Helium-Filled Soap Bubbles (HFSB) as particle tracers for Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) in industrial wind tunnels. The PhD program is a partnership of TU Delft and Netherlands Centre Laboratory (NLR). Master Degree of Science in Sustainable Energy Technology from University of Twente.
