Description:
Flow visualization is a powerful tool for characterizing fluid dynamics within engineering systems that utilize fluid working media. Recent advances in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) have enhanced its ability to extend beyond the medical field, and offer an alternate vantage point in visualizing optically inaccessible fluid distributions and flow fields within the aerospace field. In light of this prospect an investigation has ensued to parametrically bound the flows that can be sufficiently resolved using current PET technology. Preliminary results from on going simulations and analyses will be presented.
