The research is concerned with the application of heat transfer and             fluid flow to certain aspects of optical fiber production.  Such fibers         are used in telecommunications, sensors, and medical applications.  The         focus of the research is the deposition of an ultra-fine aerosol on the         inside surface of a high-purity silica tube which serves as the                 substrate of the optical fiber.  Heat transfer is the dominant                  mechanism in the aerosol formation and in its transport to the tube             wall, and radiation heat transfer is especially important at the high           temperature level of the process.
