Engineering Experimentation for Aerodynamics and Fluid Measurement equips the reader with the skills and knowledge necessary to design, implement and interpret an experiment using industry-standard and state-of-the-art equipment. As well as covering how to conduct the experiment itself, the design of the data acquisition system is addressed, along with scalable data analysis algorithms, thus ensuring that the significance of the experimental results is correctly understood. Starting with the basic concepts in measurement and experimentation, this book continues to cover all of the most important experimental techniques and equipment currently in use with the help of case studies from industry.
Although it focuses on experiments in fluid measurement, researchers in a wide range of disciplines will find this book a valuable companion in the lab.
