Cursusdoelen
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
  1. Evaluate the most suitable experimental for a determined application;
  2. Combine experimental methods and create application-specific test setups;
  3. Acquire, process and analyze the measured data;
  4. Analyze the sources of experimental uncertainties and perform error analyses;
  5. Elaborate academic and industrially oriented test reports.
Inhoud
Fundamentals of Experimental Methods in Fluid and  Thermal Engineering will cover the fundamentals of the state-of-the-art experimental methods in Fluid and Energy applications. The topics discussed in this course are:
  • The measurement chain: error and uncertainty analyses;
  • The backbone of the measurement chain: amplifiers, filters, analogic-to-digital data converter, and Wheatstone bridges;
  • Pressure and temperature measurements: physic principles, equipment and data interpretation;
  • Advanced flow velocity and turbulence measurements methods: hot-wire anemometry and Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV);
  • Advanced aeroacoustics noise measurements: microphones and microphones arrays measurements.
The lectures are distributed in a set of theoretical, self-study and laboratory practices. Each practice covers multiple experimental techniques. The student is requested to prepare an essay as preparation to the practice and this document has to be considered sufficient to allow the student to perform the practical lecture. The learning outcomes are evaluated in oral examinations combined with the test practice reports presented in the format of a research paper.
