New Method for Obtaining Emission Coefficients from Emitted Spectral Intensities Part I—Circularly Symmetric Light Sources*

Quantitative Object Reconstruction Using Abel Transform X-Ray Tomography and Mixed Variable Optimization

“…Polynomial interpolation methods have been successful in describing objects of smoothly varying material properties [12,26]. Basis function expansions are another popular area; see [17,25] some examples. Transform techniques are demonstrated by Smith, Keefer, and Sudharsanan [29].…”

Excitation temperature and electron number density distributions experienced by analyte species in an inductively coupled argon plasma

“…As before, inclusion of these data would neither significantly change the conclusions drawn about these lines nor the temperatures obtained with them. (53) and, (b) less scatter in calcu lated radial intensities when real data were employed. The computational procedures and error analyses for these methods are discussed in Appendix B.…”

Application of Holographic Interferometry to Density Field Determination in Transonic Corner Flow

“…The integral inversion procedure utilized in this investigation was first reported by C. D. Maldonado, et al [5,6]. It was used subsequently by R. D. Matulka [3] and R. C. Jagota [7] to determine the density variation in an asymmetric free jet and about a cone at angle of attack in supersonic flow, respectively.…”

“…In the determination of the density field around a free jet in the supersonic regime, Matulka [3,4] expressed the fringe data in a series of orthogonal polynomials and transformed them to polynomials representing density using an inversion technique reported in [5,6]. The method was extended by Jagota [7,8] to the determination of the threedimensional density field around a ten-degree half angle cone in a supersonic wind tunnel.…”
