Tracking software graphical interface - help scientists to experiment

Automatic calibration using laser pointer - solve a long-standing problem

Experimental data analysis - "looking for the hidden beauty of the flow"

Air-flow for PC cooling - measurements and closed-loop control

We have transparent PC case with installed air flow ventilation, see the images:

The project is not only experimental, some numerical codes are needed:

• Make the air cooling system working with an external controller that enables to turn on/off any combination of the air flow ventilators
• Make flow visualization with smoke or aerosols
• Measure the flow in the case
• Analyse and propose for an optimal configuration of air fans.

Bees - how do they smell it?

Adding a source of smell and the air flow that models their natural environment, we are interested to see whether bees approaching the smell source is different under different flow conditions. Open for undergraduate students
