Abstract
This talk will present a brief report our recent progress in the area of four dimensional (4D) diagnostics at the University of Virginia, followed by an analysis of the open research questions and the opportunities such diagnostics can enable in a range of scientific and engineering disciplines. Example measurements from our group include 4D measurements of turbulent flow structures, chemical species, and velocity with temporal resolution up to 20 kHz and sub-mm spatial resolution in all three directions. Besides demonstrating the feasibility and potential of 4D diagnostics, these results also elucidate several opportunities for both fundamental and applied research.
Bio：
Dr. Ma started his faculty career in 2006 after completing his PhD work in 2006 from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. His research lies in the general area of thermal-fluid sciences, with a unique strength on the development and application of novel diagnostics.
Dr. Ma’s group has authored over 70 archival journal papers in these research areas, and both himself and his students have been recognized by various awards such as the NSF CAREER award, SAE’s international Teetor Award, and the Combustion Institute’s outstanding paper award.
