Course Objectives		1- To introduce different types of fluid mechanics measurement systems and techniques, their limitations and strengths 2- To give a thorough understanding of measurement, analysis and physical interpretation of fluctuating quantities in fluid mechanics 3- To teach elements necessary to design an experimental system in fluid mechanics, principles of data acquisition and analysis, how to present and report the experimental results
Course Description		Measurement of mean and fluctuating quantities important in fluid dynamics. The measurement of static and stagnation pressures and temperatures (including probe design, limitations, errors, etc.), heat transfer rates, skin friction, boundary layer properties, flow angularity and flow visualization methods. Fluctuating quantities will primarily include pressures and velocities. Data acquisition systems (analog to digital converters, filters, etc.), data acquisition techniques (sampling and filtering rates including aliasing problems) and the definition and physical interpretation of basic properties of fluctuating signals such as mean and RMS values, power spectra, cross-correlations, probability density distributions, etc.
Course Outcomes		M.Sc./Ph.D. students who successfully pass this course gain knowledge, skill and competency in the following subjects; 1- Different types of fluid mechanics measurement systems and techniques, their limitations and strengths 2- Basics of data acquisition systems and data acquisition techniques 3- Measurement, analysis and physical interpretation of fluctuating quantities in fluid mechanics 4- Principles of pressure, temperature, force and velocity measurements 5- Qualitative and quantitative flow visualization techniques 6- Design of an experimental system in fluid mechanics
