The study of how fluids behave and interact with different forces and boundaries is called fluid
mechanics. This field of science has many applications in engineering, science, and everyday
life. However, the study of fluid behavior represents a challenge in terms of analysis and
modeling, especially turbulent, compressible or multiphase flows. For this reason, experimental
measurement methods and techniques in fluid mechanics are essential to complete fluid
analysis. It is possible to provide results, validate our hypotheses, and improve our
understanding of fluid phenomena.
The main objective of using experimental techniques in fluid mechanics is to measure the
properties of flowing fluids. Measurements are used to understand how the fluid-containing
system operates and then to apply this knowledge to designing improved systems and predicting
their future operation. They are also used to monitor and control the physical process, therefore
ensuring efficient and safe operation of the system.
This course is intended for first-year master's students in energy physics and renewable energies
deals with the experimental techniques in Fluid Mechanics. It focuses on different techniques and
challenges associated with measuring flow characteristics such as pressure, temperature, flow rate,
speed and vacuum rate.
Teaching objectives: Acquire knowledge of the different measurement techniques used in fluid
mechanics.
Recommended prior knowledge: Basic Concepts in Fluid Mechanics |
