i just got assigned a project for my new position as research assistant at UCF's Center for Advanced Turbine and Energy Research. two points:

1) NASA is funding it.
2) this is the title of the proposal: "Impact of Upstream Wake and Endwall Contouring on Film Cooling in a High-Speed Cascade"

how silly.

impact of endwall contouring on film cooling?
oh, of course

[flannelpiano]

film cooling?
so it has to do with photography?

[iamchrisadams]

well, from what i understand, they use heat-sensitive film on the bottom of the wind tunnel test section to help visualize how the flow is acting. and they capture the images using some type of camera, i suppose.

but come to find out, we just stand there and say, yeah, that looks kinda blue.

[iamchrisadams]

the answer is of course yes. this is 'merica.
