Experimental Methods in Single-and Multiphase Flows

3 credits · Graduate

Fundamentals of modern single & multiphase flow measurement techniques, w. intrusive and non-intrusive techniques. Students will learn the fundamentals of particle image velocimetry, electrical impedance measurements, X-ray based multiphase flow measurements, and advanced measurement data processing and analysis techniques. Different demos are conducted, students will work in teams in their labs, on both simple experiments, and on one major experiment design. The course provides understanding of modern measurement techniques used to generate validation and verification data numerical models, and as such is expected to benefit the modelers as well. Relevant to mechanical, ocean, nuclear, civil, & numerical modeling grad.
