Instrumentation and Measurements in Compressible Flows

By Mrinal Kaushik

Book Overview

Instrumentation and Measurements in Compressible Flows presents detailed information on experiments in compressible fluid flows including technical information pertaining to a wide variety of applications and the experimental basis for compressible flows. A step-by-step procedure is given to estimate the measurement errors as well as the uncertainty. Computational fluid dynamics data can be validated with the experimental results presented in the book. Further, it answers most pertinent queries related to conducting experiments and measuring the data at very high speeds. This volume also includes MATLAB(R) programs for selected topics.

Features:
