Temperature- and Pressure-Sensitive Luminescent Paints in Aerodynamics

Abstract

This review article presents an overview of the current state of temperature- and pressure-sensitive luminescent paint techniques used in aerodynamic measurements. Topics include photophysical foundations, paint preparation and calibration, measurement systems, accuracy, and time response. Applications of the luminescent paint technique in aerodynamic testing are discussed and typical examples of current research are given. There are 112 references.
