REAL-TIME VISUALIZATION
OF A FLOW FIELD

Maximise your wind tunnel time with
realtime visualization of flow by
immediately seeing the effects of
your dynamic optimisation.

MEASURE FLOW AROUND
PREVIOUSLY UNMEASURABLE AREAS

An automated traverse or operator may guide a
probe in the flow region of interest.
The probe’s position is precisely tracked with
a camera system.

SCAN AND PAINT
SYSTEM

The measured data is interpolated and the
flow field is instantaneously visualized to the user.

EFFICIENT DIGITAL DATA
ACQUISITION

The measured 3D data is accessible in real-time,
typically on a large screen or projected to a wall
with good visibility during testing.

Welcome to ProCap

A new world of real-time flow field measurement.

How can ProCap help you?

Real-time measurement of a flow field

Maximize your wind tunnel time with real-time measurement of flow by immediately seeing the effects of your aerodynamic optimization.

Measure flow around previously unmeasurable areas

An automated traverse or operator may guide a probe in the flow region of interest. The probe’s position is precisely tracked with a camera system. Due to the size and nature of the system, the operator is able to measure and visualize flow around objects which were previously difficult by design to measure.

Scan and Paint System

The measured data is interpolated and the flow field is instantaneously visualized to the user. This is essentially an intuitive scan-and-paint approach of the flow in real-time. This human-based scanning approach is very efficient, as even in regions of large gradients, the scanning is refined and no machine-teaching, even for complex geometries, is necessary.

Efficient digital data acquisition

The measured 3D data is accessible in real-time, typically on a large screen or projected to a wall with good visibility during testing. Data is also available offline, using either the ProCap software or standard CFD visualization and analysis tools, for further analysis.

HOW IT WORKS

The ProCap System

At the core of the ProCap system is the intelligent ProCap software which manages:

Communication and timing of the different flow probes and tracking system
Data conversion with probe calibration, spatial interpolation, storage and import/export
Import and display of model geometry
Real-time visualization and measurement of the flow field and model geometry
visualization and measurement of the flow field and model geometry

“In our laboratory at OTH Regensburg, ProCap makes very valuable contributions twofold: Firstly in teaching, by demonstrating students where aerodynamic drag comes from. Secondly in research, by saving a lot of time in advancing drag reduced aerodynamic shapes.”

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stephan Lämmlein

Lab Wind-Tunnel / Flow Measurement Technology

“I would certainly recommend looking at this as a flow visualisation option.”

Richard Amunugama

Head of Aerodynamics and Simulation Apollo Future Mobility Group, London, UK

“So glad to have ProCap in the lab! All students are trained on this technique in my Advanced Fluid Flow Measurements class. Some upcoming ProCap measurements with leading industries – stay tuned.”
