(16167)
Master in Industrial Mechanical (Plan: 274 - Estudio: 265)
EPI


Coordinating teacher: RUBIO RUBIO, MARIANO

Department assigned to the subject: Thermal and Fluids Engineering Department

Type: Electives
ECTS Credits: 3.0 ECTS

Course: 1º
Semester: 2º



Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
Fluid Mechanics
Objectives
Competencies and learning results acquired by the student: - Knowledge of a repertoire of experimental techniques, commonly used in Fluid Mechanics, as well as their physical and mathematical basis. This knowledge must enable the student to choose the most adequate technique for a particular problem. - A critical attitude towards the interpretation of experimental results, either obtained by him/herself of found in the literature.
Description of contents: programme
- Introduction to signal analysis - Flow meters and pitot tubes - Thermal anemometry (Hot wire) - Laser Doppler Anemometry (LDA/LDV) - Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) - Interferometric techniques (Schlieren, Shadowgraphy) - Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) - Characterization of particle-laden flows (drops/bubbles/solid particles)
Learning activities and methodology
- Lectures where the techniques are described (1.5 ECTS) - Practical sessions in the lab where the student will use different techniques to characterize some relevant flows. He/she will have to deliver a report based on the work the student performs in the laboratory concerning these techniques: + Hot wire + Laser Doppler Anemometry + Particle Image Velocimetry + Characterization of particle-laden flows (1.5 ECTS)
