More great news!!!🔝😎
In the recently concluded OPUS 28 competition organised by the National Science Centre, funding for a research project was awarded to, among others, Dr Maciej Pilch from the Tadeusz Kościuszko University of Technology in Krakow.
The project is entitled: ‘New hybrid, high-frequency and ultra-precise luminescent Pressure Sensitive Paints systems for aerodynamic testing of high-rise buildings and research into the environmental impact of dynamic atmospheric phenomena on buildings and people’.
The project has been awarded PLN 2,815,600 in funding.
The aim of the project is to develop innovative luminescent systems based on Pressure Sensitive Paints (PSP) technology, which will enable extremely precise, temporally and spatially resolved pressure measurements in aerodynamic tests. The proposed solutions will be used, among other things, in research on the impact of wind on high-rise infrastructure and in the analysis of the impact of dynamic atmospheric phenomena (e.g. gusts, turbulent flow structures) on building structures and human safety.🏗👷
The project involves an interdisciplinary approach combining materials engineering, photochemistry, aerodynamics and advanced experimental techniques, which may contribute to the significant development of tools used in civil engineering, architecture, and climate and environmental analyses.
The entire #ortylphotolab team extends its warmest congratulations!!!🎉
