Syllabus
Concept of similarity and design of experiments – measurement uncertainty – design of subsonic, transonic, supersonic, hypersonic, and high enthalpy test facilities – transducers and their response characteristics – measurement of pressure, temperature, velocity, forces, moments and dynamic stability derivatives – flow visualization techniques: optical measurement techniques, refractive index based measurements, scattering based measurements – data acquisition and signal conditioning – signal and image processing.
