Summary
The course objectives are to make students familiar with modern measurement techniques in fluid mechanics. Emphasis will be set on the advantages and drawbacks of each technique and on the accuracy of measurements. The course is shared into two sections : 1. Theory, force and point measurement ￜ Introduction, what should we measure and why ? ￜ Components of a measurement chain ￜ Measurement uncertainties and errors ￜ Mathematical tools ￜ Fluid Mechanics facilities ￜ Force measurement ￜ Pressure measurements ￜ Hot wire anemometry 2. Optical field measurement ￜ The LASER ￜ Flow visualisation ￜ Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) ￜ Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) ￜ Optical density & spectroscopic measurements This lecture concerns the first part Theory, force and point measurement Lectures will be complemented by practical work sessions on Hot Wire Anemometry and Particle Image Velocimetry, the two techniques in use to study turbulent flows. The links are evidenced for Turbulence essentials, Dynamics of viscous flow, Dynamics of compressible flowￜ
Educational goals
At the end of the course, the student will be able to: - To have a good background in experimental fluid dynamics. - To select the best method for an experimental fluid mechanics problem. - Analyze, define precisely the setup and compute the uncertainties. The competences introduces in this lecture are : - Conduct research and studies by implementing a multidisciplinary approach to solve complex scientific and technical problems of all or part of aeronautical or space systems. - Mobilize highly specialized knowledge, some of which is at the forefront of knowledge in a field of work or study, as a basis for original thinking - Solve problems to develop new knowledge and procedures and integrate knowledge from different fields

Pedagogy
Class sessions with active student participation will be set up with classical blackboard teaching and powerpoint presentations. Each session will be followed by one or more exercises to be done independently and prepared at home. At the next tutorial session, these exercises will be corrected.
