by C. Delo and A.J. Smits


Acknowledgments

Dr. R. M. Kelso was instrumental in the construction of the laser scanning apparatus and the collection of experimental data. The volume visualization software was developed by Dr. J. Poggie. Equipment was provided by Prof. R. B. Miles, Dr. W. Lempert, and Prof. F. V. Bracco of Princeton University. The authors wish to thank L. Fulachier for suggestions concerning the final form of the article.

Portions of this research were performed under AFOSR URI Grant 90-0217, monitored by Dr. J. R. McMichael and AFOSR Grant F49620-92-J-0425, monitored by Dr. A. Nachman. C. Delo was the recipient of support from the Fannie and John Hertz Foundation, the National Science Foundation, and the Princeton University Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. The participation of Dr. Kelso was made possible by the Postdoctoral Fellowship Scheme of C.S.I.R.O., Australia, and by AFOSR.
