Module Number: 12886
Module Title:Flow Measurements
  Flow Measurements
Department: Faculty 3 - Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Energy Systems
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr.-Ing. Egbers, Christoph
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every winter semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:Understanding the bases of the experimental and optical measurement techniques. The students learn and know the basics of optical flow measurements for Fluid Mechanics and Aerodynamics. After successful completion of the module, they are able to apply the basic methods and measurement techniques to solve experimental Fluid Mechanics and Aerodynamics problems. They are able to work in a team and they are able to present their work in a seminar.
Contents:Methods of Flow Visualization, Overview on Optical Measurement Techniques, Laser-Doppler-Anemometry; Particle-Image-Velocimetry; Particle-Tracking-Velocimetry; Liquid Crystal Technique, Dye-Injection Method; Hot-Wire- and Hot-Film Anemometry, Doppler-Global Velocimetry, Oil-Fim-Technique, Measurement Techniques for Channeland Pipe Flows, Wind Tunnel Measurement Techniques (i.e. Pressure Sensitive Paints).
