Summary
Time-resolved observation of highly transient events by a novel digital high-speed camera. Highly transient, that is, rapidly changing, events occur in nature and in almost every field of science and engineering. Knowledge and understanding of these processes is vital for the design of better and innovative machines, materials and instruments. Valuable insight into these processes can be gained if one can visualise them by means of high-speed photography. This application seeks the acquisition o ....Time-resolved observation of highly transient events by a novel digital high-speed camera. Highly transient, that is, rapidly changing, events occur in nature and in almost every field of science and engineering. Knowledge and understanding of these processes is vital for the design of better and innovative machines, materials and instruments. Valuable insight into these processes can be gained if one can visualise them by means of high-speed photography. This application seeks the acquisition of a novel and unique digital camera system that would allow one to observe rapidly occurring processes with unprecedented clarity. The availability of such a system would significantly strengthen cutting-edge research activities in various disciplines that would ultimately lead to the development of original and innovative products.Read moreRead less
Physics of Base Flows of Planetary Entry Configurations. Continued investment by Australia in the AHI will help to maintain Australia's leading role in the exciting fields of space research and hypersonics and to encourage future international collaboration. The research will use the unique existing experimental infrastructure (largely ARC funded) for space related research, which will enable Australia to make a valuable contribution to the design of future planetary missions.

Continued investment by Australia in the AHI will help to maintain Australia's leading role in the exciting fields of space research and hypersonics and to encourage future international collaboration. The research will use the unique existing experimental infrastructure (largely ARC funded) for space related research, which will enable Australia to make a valuable contribution to the design of future planetary missions. The project will provide a stimulating, exciting and supportive environment for the training of postgraduate and postdoctoral personnel as well as students at the undergraduate level. It will help to motivate young Australians to pursue their interest in science and engineering.Read moreRead less
