Experimental Fluid Mechanics

This course provides a graduate-level introduction to the basic theory and practical application of several important experimental techniques used in fluid dynamics. Topics include techniques for the measurement of material properties, pressure, density, force, fluid velocity, temperature and heat flux. The course will also review applications of measurement techniques for non-Newtonian fluids, hydraulics, microfluids, and other special-case topics. Fundamentals of data processing and data acquisition will be discussed
