Summary
This short course aims to generate an awareness of the range of contemporary flow measurement
devices and methods available for application to both industrial and research flow problems in
Mechanical Engineering. Well-established mass and volume flow rate measuring devices are
reviewed, and the strengths and weaknesses of various meters and classes of meter are discussed.
Modern non-invasive methods - magnetic and ultrasonic - are also discussed.
Velocimetry (or anemometry) methods are then discussed, with a distinction drawn between
point measurement methods and 2-D methods. In the former category, Laser-Doppler
anemometry is described in detail. Under 2-D methods, Particle Image Velocimetry is described
in detail and a range of applications presented.
