Internal flow investigation of an aft finocyl grain configuration in a solid rocket motor
… tests were conducted in mediums of air and water to investigate the internal flow field about the nozzle region of a proposed solid rocket motor (SRM) configuration that would potentially replace the current external boosters on NASA's Space Shuttle. One-eighth-scale clear acrylic models of …

A New Multifunctional MEMS-Based Piezoresistive Pressure Sensor for Monitoring Static, Acoustic, and Turbulent Events in Underwater Applications
… sensors were evaluated though extensive water tunnel testing. Two sensors were surface mounted into a NACA 0018 hydrofoil and evaluated under a range of angles of attack (AoAs) and flow speeds. The results highlight the sensors' proficiency in monitoring static flow perturbations, …

Modeling and simulation of hydrokinetic composite turbine system
… was characterized by simulation. Laboratory water tunnel testing was performed and simulation results were validated by experimental findings. The work performed provides a valuable procedure for the design and analysis of hydrokinetic composite turbine systems"--Abstract, page iv.

Implementation of 3DPTV for turbulence analysis and subgrid-scale stress model testing of a backward-facing step flow
… to a backward-facing step flow in a small-scale water tunnel testing facility. The camera system, consisting of three 4008 $\times$ 2672 CCDs, was aligned and calibrated using a custom grid and dot target plate mounted on a purpose-built rig, containing a precision single-axis translation stage. …

Micro air vehicle motion tracking and aerodynamic modeling
… and mostly limited to tests in wind and water tunnels. In addition to wind and water tunnel testing, flight characteristics of aircraft can be gathered through flight testing. The small size and low weight of MAVs prevent the use of conventional on-board instrumentation systems, but …
