Course Objectives
The student will gain insight on the experimental analysis of aerodynamic problems. The widely-used and up-to-date measurement techniques will be presented. The student will also develop a practical knowledge and capability to perform measurements in a dedicated wind-tunnel setup studying fundamental aerodynamic problems.
Course Content
Experimental techniques in aerodynamics; Pressure, temperature and velocity measurement techniques. Steady and unsteady pressure measurements and various types of pressure probes and transducers, errors in pressure measurements. Measurement of temperature using thermocouples, resistance thermometers, temperature sensitive paints and liquid crystals. Measurement of velocity using hot wire anemometry. Calibration of single and two wire probes. Velocity measurement using Laser Doppler Velocimetry. Data acquisition and digital signal processing techniques.
