This course for JMBC PhD students gives a general overview of concepts of experimental methods for flow, pressure, concentration and temperature measurements. The course will discuss various classic techniques (thermocouples, Pitot tubes, hot-wire anemometry) and optical techniques such as shadowgraphy and Schlieren. The course will also focus on modern non-intrusive laser techniques (Laser Doppler and Phase Doppler Anemometry, Particle Imaging and Particle Tracking Velocimetry and Laser-Induced Fluorescence). We will discuss methods for flow visualization and high-speed imaging and we have special presentations on experimental methods used in two-phase flows, in rheology and in industrial applications.
