 Biography

Dr Timothy McIntyre's research interests are in the fields of: Laser Diagnostics (Holographic Interferometry, Laser Induced Fluorescence, LEI Velocimetry, Schlieren/Shadowgraph, Spectroscopic Methods, Non-linear Methods) and Hypersonic Flow (Super-orbital flow, Scramjets, Facility Development, Non-equlibrium flow, Radiation)

He received his PhD from the Australian National University in 1989. His chief research projects are in the areas of:

  • Development of advanced laser diagnostics for studying high enthalpy flows generated in University of Queensland’s superorbital expansion tubes.
  • Use of super-orbital expansion tubes for experimental study of high enthalpy reacting flows relevant to space vehicle entry into planetary atmospheres.
  • The study of supersonic combusting flows in a shock tunnel.
