Optical diagnostics of LOX swirl injectors

Summary

The University of Stuttgart is seeking an experimental partner for Lot 2 of the research project on pressure oscillations in LOX swirl injectors. The contractor will provide optical data to investigate the precessing vortex core at the injector outlet, including simultaneous Schlieren imaging and image-intensified CH* camera recordings. The work also includes processing the results and developing analysis methods to produce reference datasets for validating numerical models.
