Course Objective

The students obtain fundamental knowledge on mechanical, electrical and optical measurement techniques to determine
fluid mechanical quantities like pressure, density, velocity, temperature and shear stress. Beyond the basic principle and
the accuracy of the different measurement techniques, the students learn about the limitations of the techniques and how
to improve and expand them. Basic experience in applying the measurement techniques are obtained by mandatory
laboratory experiments.

Course Content

Theory and Experiment, Measurement Uncertainties, Flow visualization methods (smoke, oil flow pictures, laser sheet visualization), pressure measurement, force measurement, hot-wire anemometry, basics of optics, Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and its extensions, Schlieren techniques, thermography, pressure sensitive paint (PSP), particle measurement techniques
