The Flowfield Imaging Laboratory
Welcome to the Flowfield Imaging Lab. We are part of the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at the University of Texas at Austin. We do research and teaching in the primary areas of turbulent mixing/combustion and high speed shear flows. Our work emphasizes the application and development of laser diagnostics to help us understand the physics of complex turbulent flows.
