Aerodynamic measurements: from physical principles to turnkey instrumentation
Russo, G.P.
Aerodynamic measurements presents a comprehensive review of the theoretical bases which experimental techniques used in aerodynamics are based on. Limitations of each method in terms of accuracy, response time and complexity are addressed. This book serves as a guide to choosing the most pertinent technique for each type of flow field including: 1D, 2D, 3D, steady or unsteady, subsonic,supersonic or hypersonic. INDICE: Pressure gauges, pressure transducers and pressure sensitive paints; Measuring flow speed by pressure measurements; Hot-wire anemometry; Laser anemometry: LDA, L2F, PIV; Measuring temperature with thermocouples and by infrared radiation; Optical methods for flow visualisation: Shadowgraph, Schlierenmethod, the Mach-Zehnder interferometer, differential interferometry; Measuring aerodynamic forces by pressure distribution and with balances.
