Using Molecules To Measure Rate Of Flow

Monday, September 29, 2008 - 09:35 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers have developed a new measurement technique based on following molecules in a (turbulent) airflow. Its main advantage is that no measuring instruments or small particles, such as glass beads, need to be inserted into the flow. These techniques fail if, for example, the particle density is too low or the measurement techniques influence the flow.
