Figure 7
Three regions of a normalized radiograph (a) displaying significant false water artefacts. Region 1 is entirely within the solid graphite block. Region 2 samples a heterogeneous region of the radiograph, including rib, channel and GDL. Region 3 samples a region of the radiograph well below the vertical position of the hotspot. The mean water thickness values for each of the three regions (solid lines), with a linear fit (dashed lines) at a single point in time (b). Normalized values of the three regions' gradients over 3 min compared with the calculated vertical hotspot position for the same image sequence (c). |
