MEK4600 – Experimental Methods in Fluid Mechanics
Course description
Course content
The course will provide an introduction to measurement methods relevant to experimental fluid mechanics. Knowledge of these topics will also be of use for fluid mechanics students involved in modelling. The course will provide an overview of analysis techniques commonly used in experimental work. Weekly exercises will provide reinforcement of the topics discussed in class. A variety of measurement methods and techniques will be presented in order to provide knowledge and understanding of common measurement methods used in research. Lab classes will provide the student with opportunities to apply the topics discussed in class to actual data. Literature which is relevant to the measurement techniques will be discussed in class as well.
Learning outcome
The goal will be to familiarize the student with common measurement and analysis techniques for experimental fluid mechanics. After completion of the course the student should feel confident in conducting more independent experimental work. The student will leave will knowledge of how to approach various measurements in the lab along with an understanding of how to acquire and process the resultant data.
Admission to the course
Students admitted at UiO must?apply for courses?in Studentweb. Students enrolled in other Master's Degree Programmes can, on application, be admitted to the course if this is cleared by their own study programme.
