Full Volumetric Plume Modeling
Reconstructs full 3D plume geometry from planar cross-sections taken at multiple distances, revealing complete downstream spatial development.
Tomographic Solver · 3D Plume Volume
Computed Optical Tomography
Reconstruct complete 3D spray plumes from planar optical scans.
Import spray pattern distributions from multiple distances to build an interactive 3D model of spray spatial development.
Developed for research labs, aerospace propulsion teams, and advanced nozzle engineering groups, SprayScan 3DR transforms multi-slice 2D patternator data into continuous 3D voxel density fields. Inspect internal vortex structures, measure spray collapse, evaluate air core symmetry, and benchmark physical spray performance directly against computational fluid dynamics (CFD) grids.
