    Area of Science:

    • Fluid dynamics
    • Optical metrology
    • Interferometry

    Background:

    • Studying the mixing dynamics of transparent fluids is crucial in various scientific and industrial applications.
    • Traditional methods may lack the sensitivity or real-time capabilities to fully capture these complex processes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the potential of Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry (ESPI) combined with phase-shifting for studying transparent fluid mixing.
    • To demonstrate the technique's ability to visualize and quantify fluid dynamics in real-time.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry (ESPI) with phase-shifting techniques.
    • Employed a He-Ne laser (lambda(0) = 632.8 nm) as the light source.
    • Achieved interferometric sensitivity better than lambda(0)/10.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully visualized water flow and moving water droplets in water in real-time at video rates.
    • Observed phase changes correlated with refractive index variations due to temperature differences.
    • Demonstrated detection of temperature differences less than 0.1 K for 4 mm droplets.

    Conclusions:

    • ESPI with phase-shifting is a powerful, non-invasive tool for studying transparent fluid mixing dynamics.
    • The technique offers high sensitivity for detecting small temperature variations critical for understanding mixing processes.
    • Real-time visualization capabilities enhance the study of dynamic fluid behaviors.
