Examining how two or more substances interact has long been a focus of scientists and their predecessors – the alchemists. We are all familiar with how heavier and lighter substances (such as oil and water) behave when combined but there are many complex situations that require more intensive examination to discover what is taking place. This is especially the case in field situations where many factors are at play simultaneously. This interaction is often referred to as Flow Analysis.
Visual examination, a staple of scientific methodology, cannot capture many situational state changes. Limitations in visual acuity as well as accuracy can be too constraining for reliable study. For example, conditions that are altering at speeds beyond what the eye can detect or situations where many changes are occurring in rapid and diverse succession need to be recorded and analyzed. Beyond changes that we cannot easily see there are also challenges of data correlation, which is critical for solid analysis. Fortunately, visual recording methods provide the capacity to overcome the limitations of individual vision and human memory.
When considering the flow analysis involving aerodynamics, various conditions often must be measured. Not only is the airflow across an object examined but also elements such as material flex, pressures, drag, momentum, lift, and so forth. In addition, there may be a desire to see very minor minute state changes. Again, in those situations capturing events taking place at such rapid rates requires a recording solution capable of high resolution and high reliability data capture.
Benefits surrounding flow analysis apply to a wide range of products and solutions. Aerodynamics is a great example but there are many others, including ocean movements. In ocean flow studies we typically tend to think of ships as they move through the oceans but flow analysis also applies to underwater cables, oil platforms, ocean mining, land erosion, sea life movements and more. Additionally, ocean flow analysis and movements effect a huge range of ecological, environmental, meterological, and biological factors.
Whether it is pollutants (such as biological waste), diverse temperature water, or even underwater gases (such as methane) all interacting items affect the movement and flow of ocean waters. Also, when many variables come into play complexities must often be observed over extended time frames and in tremendous detail. Capturing all the minute unpredictable changes depends on high speed-high quality recording solutions with extensive and specific capabilities.
Although the ocean is one large focus when it comes to flow analysis it certainly isn't the only one. Where ever there's the need to understand relationships between different fluid elements and how they move, or how other elements are affected by their interaction, there's a need for Flow Analysis recording.
Another place where the flow and interaction of elements is under constant change is in the human body. Technology is now making it possible to study the biological changes of fluids within the body and recording this for study and analysis. This remains a relatively untapped area of study which we expect medical research to exploit in the coming months and years.
Boulder Imaging Meets Your Flow Analysis Needs
Boulder Imaging has worked with customers to capture and record flow analysis incidents for some very interesting purposes. Two diverse applications were the examination of crayfish behavior changes due to ocean water chemical composition changes as well as the US Navy exploring more optimal ship hull design. In both cases Boulder Imaging systems were implemented to capture and examine both micro and macro changes in state as well as to isolate and analyze the multitude of variables at play.
When it comes to flow analysis each challenge is unique and Boulder Imaging has a history of helping its customers succeed. We take pride in our deep expertise in making the toughest problems evolve into tangible results. Flow Analysis can be somewhat confusing and overwhelming but don't let that discourage you. We are here to help. So if you would like to learn more about Flow Analysis and how Boulder Imaging can assist your organization in addressing particular needs, please contact us by clicking here.
