Description
Contents
Instrumentation, Measurements, and Experiments in Fluids, Second Edition is primarily focused on essentials required for experimentation in fluids, explaining basic principles, and addressing the tools and methods needed for advanced experimentation. It also provides insight into the vital topics and issues associated with the devices and instruments used for fluid mechanics and gas dynamics experiments. The second edition adds exercise problems with answers, along with PIV systems of flow visualization, water flow channel for flow visualization, and pictures with Schlieren and shadowgraph—from which possible quantitative information can be extracted. Ancillary materials include detailed solutions manual and lecture slides for the instructors.
Detailed discussions on design of high-speed and low-speed wind tunnels, instrumentation, and modern data acquisition
Exclusive title on wind tunnel, covering the design and use of low-speed, high-speed, hypersonic and special purpose tunnels
Decription on uncertainity analysis beginning with the definition of uncertainty leading to determination of uncertainty associated with any specific measurement
Well-documented fluid experimentation methods
Includes more examples, excercise problems, lecture slides, and solutions manual
