Learning outcomes
The subject includes selected chapters of optical and other non-contact measurements in experimental fluid mechanics and mutli-phase flows applicable in applied research and industry. Students get familiarized with modern quantitative visualization methods including laser anemometry (LDA, PIV, microPIV, Time Resolved PIV), non-contact measurement of temperature and concentration fields (PLIF), methods for spry characterization (IPI) etc. Lectures are followed by practical demonstration in the laboratory of Technical university of Liberec.
Students get acquinted with selected chapters of optical and other non-contact measurement methods and acquire basic knowledge of laser anemometry and non-contact measurement of temperature fields, including practical applications. The acquired knowledge of theory, methodics and its context enable students a good orientation in complex interdisciplinary measurement methods and experiments.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of Mathematic and Physic.
