The innovation of using both parallel and diverging fringe patterns determines the particle position within 10 microns uncertainty and provides velocity profiles over a focal volume length. Small sub-micron seeding particles follow the high-speed turbulent eddies. A survey of applications of these advances to high-speed complex flows will be presented, including transonic, supersonic, and hypersonic flows. Miniature portable probe heads are being used inside wind tunnel models.\u0026nbsp; Galvanometer scanners have been used to survey large flow areas.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch3\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout the speaker\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/h3\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBME, University of Virginia, 1964: MSME, 1965 and Ph.D., 1968, Stanford University.
