Mechanically Enhanced and Optically Compatible Hydrogels for Particle Image Velocimetry in Porous Flow

Creator:

Cornwell-Arquitt, Luke

Abstract:

Hydrogels have been attractive for use as a medium in porous flow studies, but have always been limited in this role because of their poor mechanical properties. This project analyzes and tests two recently developed hydrogels, poly(methacrylamide-co-methacrylic acid) (PMM), and a heat-treated long chain PVA hydrogel. Particle image velocimetry (PIV)...
