Abstract
In order to measure the transient density distribution of the exchange process caused by a negatively buoyant jet, an automatic and high-rel iability system has been developed. The upward jet of air into a box w ith helium was visualized using the Mach-Zehnder interferogram. The VT R images of the Mach-Zehnder interferogram are automatically analyzed by an engineering work station, resulting in the desired two-dimension al transient density distribution. The stratification of air and heliu m was clarified from the measured density distributions.
