White-light speckle photography technique applied for free convection heat transfer problems
White light speckle photography, as its laser counterpart, measures light beam deflection through a phase
object, that is a transparent medium with non uniform refractive index. As the beam deflection at the
solid surface is connected to the wall-temperature gradient, a convection heat transfer coefficient can
be obtained. In this work, the advantages and disadvantages of using a white light speckle photography
technique are evaluated using both simulation and experimental comparison with a different optical
technique, namely holographic interferometry. The simulation study is proposed to analyze the sensitivity
of the technique to different data reduction algorithms. Sensitivity problems, when the working fluid is air,
are considered and suggestive discussions are made to further improve the sensitivity, such as modifying
the experimental setup and/or introducing an image offset. Finally, some selected experimental results
and a brief discussion are presented for several free convection heat transfer problems

Speckle-based deflection techniques in diffusivity measurements
"Optical techniques have a long tradition in flow visualization, allowing both qualitative and quantitative analysis. In particular, speckle photography, introduced in 1968, has been. extensively used. The aim of this work is to discuss speckle-based deflection techniques in the. investigation of diffusion phenomena in liquids.
