Laser Velocimetry in Fluid MechanicsAuthor(s): Alain Boutier\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc, United Kingdom\nImprint: ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc\nISBN-13: 9781848213975, 978-1848213975\nSynopsis\nIn fluid mechanics, velocity measurement is fundamental in order to improve the behavior knowledge of the flow. Velocity maps help us to understand the mean flow structure and its fluctuations, in order to further validate codes.\nLaser velocimetry is an optical technique for velocity measurements; it is based on light scattering by tiny particles assumed to follow the flow, which allows the local fluid flow velocity and its fluctuations to be determined. It is a widely used non-intrusive technique to measure velocities in fluid flows, either locally or in a map.\nThis book presents the various techniques of laser velocimetry, as well as their specific qualities: local measurements or in plane maps, mean or instantaneous values, 3D measuremen.
