A Novel Method that uses Light to Test Aerodynamics

Aerodynamics is a very important topic which has uses in a wide array of fields and is involved in things that range from bridges to spacecrafts. Despite this, most aerodynamic tests are performed only one of two ways, using extremely expensive wind tunnels or by using CFD (computational fluid dynamics) simulation. Both of these preexisting methods have flaws however, with wind tunnels costing gargantuan amounts of money and CFD methods consuming large amounts of energy. These flaws have prompted scientist and engineers to actively seek new solutions and methods that will help to address the cost and energy issues associated with the other two methods. This search has been to no avail so far as new novel methods have not been found until now. I have found a new method that concerns the use of light in order to test the aerodynamics of objects. To prove the feasibility, I have experimented using this method and have found it to accurately simulate aerodynamics behavior in all cases tested by me. This discovery is rather significant as it would lead to a substantial shift in the field of testing aerodynamics.
