Automotive Research Experiment Station
Molecular Tagging Velocimetry SETUP:

The ARES has assembled a state-of-the-art test facility for performing MTV measurements on in-cylinder flows of motored internal combustion engines. The facility consists of a modified Hatz deisel engine, quartz cylinder for optical access to the flow field and a unique mounting system for interchanging various head configurations. The engine is mounted on a vibration isolation table. The camera and optics are independently mounted on breadboards that surround the engine. Much of the work to date has been performed for Ford and Chrysler engine heads.
