Optical density review

Make airflow accountable

01

Invisible gradients become evidence

Knife-edge readings reveal sub-millimeter density shifts before the plume spreads.

02

Shock fronts stay measurable

Silver contours trace compression boundaries across every controlled tunnel run.

03

Noise is treated as signal

Turbulent filaments remain tonal bands, never flattened into poster contrast.

04

Decisions leave a trace

Each frame pairs exposure, edge angle, and run index for repeatable review.
