Imaging Measurement Methods for Flow Analysis: Results of the DFG Priority Programme 1147 Imaging Measurement Methods for Flow A,Used

Product Description In 2003 the German Research Foundation established a new priority programme on the subject of Imaging Measurement Methods for Flow Analysis (SPP 1147). This research programme was based on the fact that experimental ?ow analysis, in addition to theory and numerics, has always played a predominant part both in ?ow research and in other areas of industrial practice. At the time, however, c parisons with numerical tools (such as Computational Fluid Dynamics), which were increasingly used in research and practical applications, soon made it clear that there are relatively few experimental procedures which can keep up with stateoftheart numerical methods in respect of their informative value, e.g. with regard to visu spatial analysis or the dynamics of ?ow ?elds. The priority programme Imaging Measurement Methods for Flow Analysis was to help close this development gap. Hence the project was to focus on the investigation of ef?cient measurement me ods to analyse complex spatial ?ow ?elds. Speci?c cooperations with computer sciences and especially measurement physics were to advance ?ow measurement techniques to a widely renowned key technology, exceeding the classical ?elds of ?uid mechanics by a long chalk. From the Back Cover This volume contains the results of the priority programme Imaging Measurement Methods for Flow Analysis conducted in 20032009. This research programme was based on the fact, that experimental flow analysis has always played an important role in addition to theory and numerics. At the time, however, comparisons with numerical tools made it clear, that there are only few experimental procedures which can keep up with these increasingly powerful tools in respect to their informative value. The priority programme was to close this development gap by focusing on the investigation on efficient measurement methods to analyse complex flow fields and advancing these techniques to a widely renowned key technology.This book gives a stateoftheart overview of current developments in the fields of image based flow measurements and analysis. The contributions to this book were presented at the concluding conference of the programme held May 14 15, 2009, at the Technische Universitt Berlin, Germany. The priority programme was funded by the DFG (German Research Foundation). About the Author Prof. Dr.Ing. Wolfgang Nitsche holds the chair of Aerodynamics at the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics of the Technische Universitt Berlin, and is coordinator of the priority programme 1147 "Imaging Measurement Methods for Flow Analysis" funded by the DFG (German Research Foundation).
