Abstract
In every field involving flow processes there is a rising demand for accurate experimental data for temporal and spatial fields of velocity and other physical variables.
The reasons for such demands are many: Advances in computational fluid dynamics, particularly in turbulence modelling, require more complex variables to be resolved on finer scales and with greater accuracy to ensure model validation. Increasing industrial competitiveness in process equipment, power plants, aeronautics, ship building, etc., demands optimal design which can be achieved through reliable methods of prediction that have been verified by model experiments or full-scale experiments. Tighter regulation on particle emission and other forms of pollution demands reliable predictions of design performance and dependable monitoring in operation.
A number of basic and applied flow problems are considered to indicate the kind of deliberations going into the design of an experiment involving the application of optical methods and to illustrate the kind of experimental data that are needed.
