Model development and analysis of the dynamics of pressure-sensitive paints

Two models for the dynamic behavior of pressure-sensitive paints are develo ped. The first of the two models is a purely empirical approach to designin g a model and compensator. The second model presented encompasses the physi cs of the process by which an unsteady pressure field ol er the paint layer affects the layer and causes an intensity of fluorescence that is fluctuat ing in time. Within this second model, two different forms for the static c alibration are chosen, The effect of the calibration on the system dynamics is demonstrated.
