Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:Participants of the module Experiments in aerodynamics and fluid mechanics will be able to understand the topic from an analytic and a practical point of view. The main scope is the understanding of fundamental Fluid mechanics. At the end of the module the students are able to understand basic aerodynamic and fluid mechanics phenomena as well as measurement techniques which are state of the art.
Contents:The specific topics will be explained theoretically in the lecture while in the exercise experiments will be performed.
The experiments will focus on different fundamental flow phenomena and investigate them using different measurement techniques. The main contents of the module will be:
  • Wind tunnel
  • Water tunnel
  • Flow around bodys
  • Principle of Airfoil
  • Laminar flow
  • Turbulence
  • Pipe flow
  • Rotating Machinery
  • Flow Instabilities
  • Taylor-Couette flow
  • Convection
  • Aeroacoustics
  • Aeolsharp
  • Karman Vortex street
  • Car Aerodynamics
  • Wheel housing
  • Flow Visualization techniques
  • Pressure measurements
  • LASER-based measurement techniques
  • Particle Image Velocimetry
  • Laser Doppler Anemometry
