Writing in turbulent air.

چکیده
We describe a scheme of molecular tagging velocimetry in air in which nitric oxide (NO) molecules are created out of O2 and N2 molecules in the focus of a strong laser beam. The NO molecules are visualized a while later by laser-induced fluorescence. The precision of the molecular tagging velocimetry of gas flows is affected by the gradual blurring of the written patterns through molecular diffusion. In the case of turbulent flows, molecular diffusion poses a fundamental limit on the resolution of the smallest scales in the flow. We study the diffusion of written patterns in detail for our tagging scheme which, at short (micros) delay times is slightly anomalous due to local heating by absorption of laser radiation. We show that our experiments agree with a simple convection-diffusion model that allows us to estimate the temperature rise upon writing. Molecular tagging can be a highly nonlinear process, which affects the art of writing. We find that our tagging scheme is (only) quadratic in the intensity of the writing laser.

متن کاملAir-Writing Recognition - Part II: Detection and Recognition of Writing Activity in Continuous Stream of Motion Data
Air-writing refers to writing of characters or words in the free space by hand or finger movements. We address airwriting recognition problems in two companion papers. Part 2 addresses detecting and recognizing air-writing activities that are embedded in a continuous motion trajectory without delimitation. Detection of intended writing activities amongst superfluous finger movements unrelated t...
