Experimental Methods in Fluid Dynamics
Explore experimental techniques and instrumentation for studying common turbulent flows. Examine fundamentals of signal processing, data pre- and post-processing techniques for optical and acoustic instrumentation, turbulent flow analysis, and experimental design. Utilize particle image velocimetry, laser induced fluorescence, and acoustic Doppler velocimetry. Civil Engineering 380D and 397 (Topic: Exper Mthds in Fluid Mech) may not both be counted. Three lecture hours and one laboratory hour a week for one semester.
