\subsection{Junior Spring Semester Project}
\cventry{2018}{Flow Mapping (Particle Image Velocimetry)}{Research Experiment}{}{}{This was an experiment in fluid dynamics with respect to a cylinder subjected to a constant flow. The water is seeded with small particles that are illuminated by a powerful laser. A cylinder is moved mechanically in various patterns mimicking theoretical 'free vibration' due to vortex shedding. The images are processed and analyzed in MATLAB and the resulting turblence/vorticity can be visualized. The forces experienced by the body are widely applicable (energy generation, structural pile requirements). Results were used in graduate student Erdem Aktosun's research.}
