Pressure and Temperature Sensitive Paints

This new edition describes pressure and temperature sensitive paints (PSP and TSP) in global surface pressure and temperature measurements in aerodynamics and fluid mechanics.  The book includes the latest progress in paint formulations, instrumentation, and steady and unsteady aerodynamic measurements in various facilities including low-speed, transonic, supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnels.  The updated technical aspects of PSP and TSP in the book will be useful for students and researchers in experimental aerodynamics and fluid mechanics.
Explains the physical principles of PSP and TSP,
Describes the technical aspects of instrumentation including calibration, illumination, detection, and data/image processing,
Discusses the measurement uncertainty of PSP and TSP,
Describe PSP and TSP measurements in various facilities in a broad range of applications.
