Model Development and Analysis of the Dynamics of Pressure-Sensitive Paints

Two models for the dynamic behavior of pressure-sensitive paints are developed. The first of the two models is a purely empirical approach to designing a model and compensator. The second model presented encompasses the physics of the process by which an unsteady pressure field over the paint layer affects the layer and causes an intensity of fluorescence that is fluctuating in time. Within this second model, two different forms for the static calibration are chosen. The effect of the calibration on the system dynamics is demonstrated.
