The following flow measurement techniques are considered:

- wind tunnel techniques and estimation of turbulence intensity
- hot wire calibration an measzrement
- pressure measurements in air (around bodies)
- pressure measurements in water (Nikuradse diagram)
- Schlieren techniques
- Mach-Zehnder interferometry
- laser Doppler anemometry
- particle image velocimetry
- uncertainty estimation

The students can apply various flow measurements. They are capable to obtain, (post-)process and analyze flow data. Furthermore, the students can contrast advantages and disadvantages of the respective experimental approaches.

regular attendance: 30 hours
self-study: 90 hours

Das Praktikum kann auf deutsch oder englisch durchgeführt werden. Jede Kleingruppe legt die gewünschte Sprache individuell fest. 

The practical course can be taken in German or English. Each group of students (usually 4-5 people) decides on the preferred language. 

Erfolgskontrolle:

Teilnahme an mindestens 7 der 9 Termine, erfolgreiche Eingangskolloquien vor jedem Versuch und Abgabe eines aussagekräfigen Versuchsprotokolls nach jedem Experiment

Participation in at least 7 out of 9 events, successful initial colloquium prior to the respective measurements and submission of a significant report after every experiment

Empfehlungen:
