Phenomenological aspects of infrared imaging in aeronautical researchThe various factors leading to obtaining a thermography of an aerodynamic body of interest using an infrared imaging camera are scrutinized. Included is a description of how the various heat transfer mechanisms determine the final surface temperature that may be time dependent even for steady state flows. Some constraining factors of the camera are also discussed. Finally, a method is outlined showing how the infrared imaging of aerodynamic configurations may ultimately evolve as a computational fluid dynamics code validation tool.
