A Method of Schlieren Alignment Stabilization Using Automatic Feedback Control

Author

W. Lawton King

Abstract

An investigation of the application of feedback control to schlieren system alignment stabilization is presented. A feedback control system was designed with the necessary sensors and actuator to maintain the knife edge alignment of a schlieren system. The feedback control system's performance when subjected to controlled disturbances was evaluated. The results indicated that the approach is feasible.
