The acquisition of a high-quality PLIF image may require several free parameters to be varied independently. Doing so in an experiment requires large amounts of time and effort. It is therefore desirable to use a method in which the effects of changing experimental parameters may be investigated before performing the actual experiments. One such method, known as computational-flow-imaging PLIF (CFI-PLIF), is discussed. We present an example of the use of CFI in designing a flow-visualisation experiment.2enPublisher Copyright: © 1999 IEEE.Computational modelling as an aid to shock tunnel planar laser-induced fluorescence visualisation199910.1109/CLEOPR.1999.8114420033326598
