| Abstract | The course presents an overview of measurement tasks in engineering environments. Different concepts for the acquisition and processing of typical measurement quantities are introduced. Following an initial in-class introduction, laboratory exercises from different application areas (especially in thermofluidics, energy, and process engineering) are attended by students in small groups. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | Introduction to various aspects of measurement techniques, with particular emphasis on thermo-fluidic, energy, and process-engineering applications. Understanding of various sensing technologies and analysis procedures. Exposure to typical experiments, diagnostics hardware, data acquisition, and processing. Study of applications in the laboratory. Fundamentals of scientific documentation and reporting. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | In-class introduction to representative measurement techniques in the research areas of the participating institutes (fluid dynamics, energy technology, and process engineering). Student participation in ~6 laboratory experiments (study groups of ~3 students, dependent on the number of course participants and available experiments). Lab reports for all attended experiments have to be submitted by the study groups. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lecture notes | Presentations, handouts, and instructions are provided for each experiment. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 151-0125-00L | Hydrodynamics and Cavitation | 4 credits | 3G | O. Supponen | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | This course builds on the foundations of fluid dynamics to describe hydrodynamic flows and provides an introduction to cavitation. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | The main learning objectives of this course are: 1. Identify and describe dominant effects in liquid fluid flows through physical modelling. 2. Identify and predict the onset of hydrodynamic instabilities. 3. Describe acoustic wave behaviour in liquids. 4. Explain tension, nucleation and phase-change in liquids. 5. Predict the behaviour of a gas bubble subject to changes in surrounding liquid pressure. 6. Describe hydrodynamic cavitation and its consequences in physical terms. 7. Recognise experimental techniques and industrial and medical applications for cavitation. 8. Read and evaluate research papers on recent research on cavitation and bubble dynamics and communicate the content orally to a multidisciplinary audience. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | The course gives an overview on the following topics: basics of hydrodynamics, capillarity, hydrodynamic instabilities, liquid fragmentation. Acoustics in liquids, tension in liquids, phase change. Cavitation and bubble dynamics: single bubbles (nucleation, dynamics, collapse), bubble clouds and cavitating flows. Industrial applications and measurement techniques. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
