Automotive and Combustion

Overview

Internal combustion engine development, fuel spray characterization, and crash safety testing all demand imaging systems capable of capturing transient events at tens of thousands of frames per second. High-speed cameras from Photron and AOS Technologies are used to visualize injection timing, flame propagation, knocking phenomena, and airbag deployment — delivering the frame-by-frame data engineers need to optimize performance and meet regulatory requirements. Paired with pulsed laser illumination from Cavitar, these systems resolve fine droplet structures and cavitation events inside transparent test chambers that were previously impossible to image.
